Pain in Elbow & Shoulder
by cheryln, Jul 08, 2008 07:37AM
About three years ago I hurt my elbow while carrying something through a door way. Thinking it was just bruised, I never had it treated. During the course of these past three years I still have some pain in my elbow when I apply my weight on it by resting on my elbows. The pain is not there all the time only on occasion. However , over the past month is seems to be getting worse. There are times when it feels like it is catching on something like plucking a guitar string and that causes pain in my shoulder. Now I have allot of shoulder pain, trouble lifting my arm over my head or lifting anything heavy. Is there anything that can be done to correct this problem with both the elbow and shoulder or it is just something I have to deal with?

You should consult an orthopedic physician and get a x-ray,.There is possibility of some internal injury or tear which requires complete evaluation. You can take some NSAID for pain relief.
