Please Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Elbow
hi, i was playing darts lastnight and started to develop pains in my right elbow. ive had these pains on and off for a few weeks but lastnight they seemed to get worse. im unsure whether the muscles are just aching or if this could be something slightly more serious and worth seeing my gp?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to muscle pain of the elbow due to overuse. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application at the are of the pain. Magnesium supplements can help in muscle relaxation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
