Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Loss Of Elbow Flexion And Constipation?
I have significant bicep weakness and difference in strength in my right arm with loss of elbow flexion with my forearm in supinate position. I have no pain. I have Ménière s disease so am on a low salt diet and take a diaretic. I also have been experiencing more constipation than usual and am more tired than usual. I am 72 years old. I also have asymptotic multiple myeloma
The loss of elbow flexion can be due to an old injury causing contracture or due to an inflammation - tendonitis. Proper examination will help in diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
