Why There Is Inflammation At The Spot Over Right Forearm?

Posted on Fri, 2 Dec 2022

Question: i have had a severe pain in my right forearm for a couple of months. It is below my elbow in a localized spot about a third of the way down my arm below my elbow. It is very painful and I cannot lift anything more than a few pounds without it causing pain to shoot up my arm. I have taken ibuprofen but it doesn't seem to help the pain.
