Is It Normal To Have Clicking Sound And Pain After Elbow Dislocation?

i am a hairdresser and i dislocated my elbow 6 weeks ago. I have recently returned to work and am able to perform my usual tasks, however when I try to blowdry someones hair, I experience allot of pain? I am taking anti-inflamatories and wear an elbow support. Certain movements are very uncomfortable and I hear clicking sounds when I move my elbow, Is this normal?

Hello,

Possibilities like tendon tear or foreign body must be ruled out. Consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. An MRI scan is required to make a diagnosis.

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

Take care

Regards,
