What Causes Severe Pain In The Right Elbow?

I m having severe pain in my right elbow. It is to the point where I cannot grip anything anymore. I can still type...thank goodness because I m an Executive Assistant, however, there is wrist pain when I type. I was in a friend s vehicle at lunch today and could not grip the seatbelt with my right arm to pull it across me.

Hi,

Consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan done.

We have to rule out conditions like tennis elbow which can present with similar symptoms.

As of now, you can take analgesics like Tramadol or Diclofenac for pain relief.

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