What Causes Pain In Arm Near The Elbow Area?
I have been having pain in my left arm around elbow area but not the joint. Had to leave church early because I became very lethargic and worn out. I got home and had chills. What bothered me the most was a sharp pain then I notices the vein that runs from near the inside of my arm that raps to the top of my hand was collapsed as if all the blood had been sucked out. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The pain in the arm around elbow is likely to be related to a muscle sprain or a tendon inflammation. Since there is no history of injury, adequate rest, hot fomentation and mild anti inflammatory medicines will help you. Cconsult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
