Suggest Treatment For Pain In Hands Near The Elbow

Posted on Tue, 13 Sep 2016

Question: My son is feeling pain on both hands near left and right sides of elbow. It is happening from last 1 month. One thing new he started from past 3 months is judo karate practice which can be cause but I am not sure on that. I haven't consulted with doctor yet and tried home remedy like icing and oil massage. But pain is still there, its never sever but always there. Due to this pain he most of the time try to fold the hands upside and then downside, may be because of discomfort he feels because of the pain. What can be the next course of action we should take? Thanks in advance for help

Brief Answer:
clinical examination needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, XXXXXXX
As seen in the picture his hand is absolutely normal.

The pain could be due to any muscle spasm happened during karate practice. But pain persisting for such long time is a issue of concern. I suggest you to get him examined by a orthopaedician to find out the actual cause.

You can try giving SYR. IBRUGESIC for 3 days 5ml 2 times daily for 3 days. If the pain still persist then consult an Orthopedician immediately.
Take care.
