Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Thank you. I have a sharp persistent pain in my right elbow. It is not dependent on activity. I think it may be gout or osteoarthritis or tennis elbow. i have had a bout of gout in my left big toe joint recently, which I cleared with apple cider vinegar and also bi carb soda. the elbow pain however persists?
Looking at the severity of pain you need to get an x ray done. See if its paining on rest also then your symptoms are consistent with severe arthritis. To know the cause of arthritis we would need investigation your serum uric acid level is one amongst them.
