How To Reduce Nerve Pain On The Tip Of Elbow?

i have nerve pain on the tip of my left elbow. My daughter bashed into my elbow when pushing a door open. I guess this would be trauma? NOt a disc issue. Whenever I accidently touch the desk or hard surface, I have a sharp localized pain. I m thinking about getting an elbow pad, like skateboarders have. Any prognosis or other treatment options would be appreciated.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. The symptom you describe comes is result of trauma. Disc problem has a nerve distribution in a certain part of your arm depending on nerve affected. Localised pain after touch or pressure suggests muscular or bone contusion. If you experience electric passing-like sensation or numbness in your hand or forearm then the nerve is contused too. I think elbow pad woll help. You can use topical NSAID impregnated creams ( e.g Ketoprofene). If you feel you have nerve problems, then I suggest you to consult your primary care Doctor. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
