Suggest Treatment For Severe Arm Pain Caused After An Injury
Hello Doctor, Two months ago, I was working in the garden with a spade and I got a pain in my right elbow. It has never gone away and the pain and soreness is spreading up and down my arm from the elbow. It hurts very much to carry a bucket with water or anything with that arm. Sometimes, it keeps me away at night from the throbbing pain. It is either throbbing or a sharp pain. It hurts when I press against a bone in my elbow. Thank you.

Hi You might have got fine injury to the nerve endings of that area. Local application of pain-relieving gels,or crepe bandage during daytime will help. Application of alternative cold and hot compression will relieve the symptoms. If not reduced kindly consult the orthopaedic surgeon. All the best.
