Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Elbow

HI, I have pain in my outer elbow. I wake up and it hurts really bad and when I put on an elbow brace it helps a bit. the pain radiates up my arm a few inches from my elbow and also a bit on the inside of my elbow. It also hurts down my lower arm. I have a hard time holding a coffee cup and at times when I turn certain ways with my wrist it can cause it to get worse, but not always. It hurts to touch and is a burning pain, It has been going on for about 2 months. Is this tennis elbow? What else can I do to help heal it. Many mornings I wake up and in a lot of pain.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the wrist.
I suggest to use anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day.
I also suggest to use a brace to maintain the wrist immobilised.
Cold compresses can also be helpful.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to do an xray of the wrist for further evaluation.

Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
