How To Overcome The Pain On My Elbow?
I was in a head on collision six months ago. I was driving wth my right hand. My funny bone in my right elbow hurts to the touch or when pushing against something. I had a steriod injection two months ago, I had a major rash that burned on the skin. It went away a month ago but now my elbow hurts twice as bad.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a pain in the elbow due to overuse. I suggest icing the elbow to reduce pain and swelling for 20 to 30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours for 2 to 3 days or until the pain is gone. I recommend using an elbow strap to protect the injured tendon from further strain. I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
