Suggest Treatment For Pain And Stiffness In The Elbows

I have pain and stiffness in my elbows when I wake each morning. I have a tendency to bump my elbows on cabinets, doorways. Im not clumsy I m just very active and constantly moving my arms in daily activities. It seems that on my right lateral epicondyle (i think) is very sensitive to touch and sometimes it is difficult to lift even small objects. Also my knuckles are extremely sensitive as it is sometimes difficult to knock on a door.

Hello,

I think you should get tested for arthritis. Do a total blood count and formula, ERS and rheumatoid factor. Do an x-ray of the affected joints.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
