Is X Ray Recommended For Elbow Pain Of A 12 Year Old?
my 12yr old daughter is complaining her elbow hurts after playing on trampoline yesterday. she says it hurts to fully extend her arm or bend her arm and hurts in a certain spot near the elbow bone but not the bone itself. She also says it feels like something keeps popping in her elbow/arm. Should I take her to get x-rays?

Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
More than an xray, she needs to be examined by an orthopedician. It most probably is a strain and needs partial immobilization for recovery and xray is gonna be normal in that case. So I would suggest you to consult an orthopedic specialist before getting xray. Hope she gets well soon. Take care.
