Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Elbows

I have elbow soreness and pain, both elbows, however predominantly my right. I m left handed. It s difficult to raise and lower this limb. I have scheduled an appt with an orthopedist but figure it might be arthritis because it is both elbows. I don t want to keep using analgesics for relief. I started using Losartan gel(1 percent) my wife had for a different condition. Will it help? Can it be something else? How much Losartan should I use with each applications? Thanks. I m 68.

Hi,

Pain in elbows can be treated by Ibuprofen.

Do a bone scan.

Also, apply hot compress locally in the area.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
