Throbbing Elbow Pain For 3 Days Or So. The Pain Goes To My Fingers Tips, Numbness And Pain. I Hadn't Done Anything Out Of My Norm Routine. This Happens Quite Often. The Pain Is So Severe I Can Not Put My Hair Up, Brush My Hair, Put My Shirt On, Typing Is A Strain You Know, Little Basic Things. Should I Be Getting It Checked Out? I've Tried Aspirin And Ibuprofen. Not Even A Lil' Ease, Zilch :( Thankies For Your Time To Read This.

Hi, thank you for posting.
I think you suffer from arthritis. You can diagnose it by elbow x-ray. You also need a rheumatism blood test. The treatment is: Meloxicam 7.5mg 1 pill a day, accompanied by stomach protector like omeprazole.
