Posted on 1 day ago

My right elbow has been hurting for the past few months, and I work from home. Although I am not overweight and engage in regular exercise, I have also been dealing with cervical issues.
This might be excessive mouse use, in my opinion.

Elbow support

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sorry for the delay in my response.

Based on the history, it appears to be medial epicondylitis or golfer's elbow.

Wearing a elbow brace ll help.

Also, place a towel or soft pad under the elbow while working on the table.

Hope I answered your query

Wishing you good health
