Bruise On Elbow, Wrists Turned When Lifting Weight. Given Steroid. What Should I Do?
I have a bruise on right inside elbow for about 6-8 month originally the hospital said it was golfers elbow due to lifting weights injury when I lifted weights & turned my wrists inwared & felt a pop, I was given steroid shot that helped for about a week! I have not exercised this area hoping for pain to go away but it s a constant pain some days worse than others. What should I do?
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The constant pain in the area seems to be due a persistent inflammation in the area. Adequate rest and oral anti inflammatory drugs are needed for prolonged relief. Doing a hot fomentation and an elbow elastic brace will be helpful.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal
