What Caused Pain And Swelling In My Husband S Elbow?

Elbow pain My husband is a very healthy 47 yr old. He has started having swelling and pain in his right elbow in the past year. Nothing seems to help alleviate the pain. Any ideas on what may be wrong, or how to help ease the pain would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I feel that you need to tell us if your husband is having any diabetic or High Blood Pressure issue.

Since there is no history of Fall or injury and just a swelling it doesn't sound to be a major issue with it.

There are changes of having a sedentary lifestyle leading to having all this. Doing the regular general exercise for 20 minutes should definitely help.

Also, the nature of the swelling is not much mentioned so we can just say that should get once the cardio checkup.

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