Suggest Remedies For Severe Pain In Upper Arm Near The Elbow

I have been experiencing increasing pain in my upper arm close to my elbow for a few weeks now. It hurts the most when I bend my arm. As I am typing it doesn t hurt, but if I bend my arm or straighten it out it hurts. I have not been taking any medication for it at this point and wondering if I need to see a physician

Hello,

Injuries or trauma to any part of the arm or shoulder, including bone fractures, joint dislocations, and muscle strains and sprains, are common causes of arm pain.

Sometimes diseases that affect other organs in the body, like peripheral vascular disease or arthritis, can be the cause of pain in the arm. Arm pain can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease.

Examples include strength training, sprains, strains, trauma or working with arms up such as when painting. You should be able to try remembering what you did so that you are experiencing arm pain.

Therefore I suggest consulting a bone specialist for physical examination, diagnosis and treatment.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand, Psychologist
