Suggest Remedy For Pain In Right Forearm
My 11 year old daughter has been complaining on and off for the past few weeks of pain in her right forearm. She recently played volleyball and just completed her season. I attributed the pain to volleyball but she continues to complain now that volleyball is done. The pain is a deep aching pain. She insists the arm is swollen. I have looked at it and am not certain. It seems slightly swollen just above the elbow. I have given her ibruprofen but can t do this too often as she has reflex. Is this something to investigate or just continue to watch?

Hello,
Her symptoms could be related to local inflammation. Is the pain triggered by arm movements or pressure on the arm? This could be indicative of a musculo-skeletal pain or local inflammation. Anyway, the situation is not an emergency.
After the risk of corona virus will be over, I would recommend consulting with her attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- An X-ray study
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
