What Does Pain In The Elbows Indicate?

I have been experiencing pain in my arm and elbow, when moving it a certain way or trying to grasp something or pull it up or towards me. I have iced it down, used IB Profen for any inflammation, but it does not seem to do anything. I tried to make an appt. for my doctor, but booked for 2 weeks. I thought I would check here first before going to urgent care.

Hello and greetings

It could be due to unnoticed trauma or keeping it in a certain position for longer time like while sleeping.

Advice is to get x-ray done of the elbow as that can help us with the diagnosis.

Thanks
