Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
elbow pain that is for last one month and no trauma might be due to 1. Arthritis 2. Tuberculosis. I would advise Xray of involved elbow anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. MRI of elbow will be more sensitive and specific in confirming diagnosis. So visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Take opinion from expert orthopaedic surgeon with mri report. Meanwhile start tab indomethacin 25 mg thrice a day for pain relief. All the best.
