Pain At The Elbow Joint, Not Able To Stretch. Using Volini Spray And Crepe Bandage. Elbow Operated In Childhood. Remedy?

I am now 54 years, without any major problem. When I was around 10 years old, I suffered a complicated elbow injury. I had to be operated upon. Although not all movements were restored, I was fine and did not feel like requiring medical attention since then. . However, it is about two weeks now, that I am having a pain at the joints of the same arm. It is feeling heavy and I cannot stretch it full. Volini ( spray) is giving me temporary comfort. I am using a crepe bandage too. What to do ?

Hello Sir,
You had injury elbow in the age of about 10 yrs. and till now you don't have any problem , it means your elbow injury in childhood have no any major concern now & you are 54 and having pain in your elbow, and you feel difficulty in movements also, so I think you might be having calcium deficiency, which is common in this age group or you might be having arthritis problem in initial stages.
Therefore I want to suggest you to go for Uric acid test(for confimation of Arthritis) and take some analgesics, if arthritis diagnosed by seeing uric acid level than you are advised to take Tab. allopurinol and for osteoporotic changes you can have Calcium and calcium supplements along with continuing analgesic cream volini gel locally.Further you may consult your orthopedic Surgeon for the guidance.Good Luck and take care.
