How Can A Swelling On The Elbow Crease Be Treated?

I have swelling in the elbow crease in my right arm. It gets worse when I use my arm and I get swelling farther down my arm. I ve had it about a couple of weeks and it is bothering me more. It isn t due to muscle strain; it may more more vein related.

Hello,

As a first line management you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. An MRI scan may be required for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
