Limited Elbow Movement. X-ray Shows No Fracture. Pain In Arm And Fingers. How Long Will Pain Last?
Hi I feel over over three months ago now on my outstretched right arm. I had xray so I know my elbow was not fractured but the movement was very limited. I have been having physio and now have almost full movement however I am now getting quite alot of pain in my arm. The pain is all down my arm and in my fingers. I'm assuming it's nerve damage. Should I go back to the physio to get this sorted or keep pestering my doctor? How long would this type of pain normally last?
I would expect you to have no more pain in your elbow after all this time.
I would recommend seeing your doctor again as you might need repeat x-ray if the elbow or forearm still tender (painful to touch). If the doctor happy that there is nothing serious then you can go back to physio
hope you get well soon
