How Can severe Forearm Pain Be Treated?

I m having serious pain in the area where the forearm tendon connects at the elbow. Been going on for about a month, no pain meds help. I m preparing to begin radiation therapy for prostate cancer and I was given a hormone therapy injection to reduce my testosterone level. Could this be the cause or should I go see a orthopedic doctor?

Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.Sorry to hear you are suffering from from prostate cancer.
Your forearm pain may not be related to your underlying condition or be as a result of the injection.Possible causes may include:Bursitis,Golfer's elbow, Osteoarthritis, Osteochondritis dissecans, Rheumatoid arthritis, Sprains and strains, Stress fractures, Tendinitis, Tennis elbow, Throwing injuries, Trapped nerves...
I will suggest you try the following:
-Take a pain drug like aceclofenac
-A myorelaxant like miorel
-A local pain gel like voltarene for application
If pain persist, you see your Orthopedic Doctor then for evaluation.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Best regards
