What Causes Burning Sensation In The Elbows?
so for the past 5 weeks, I have noticed that in my elbow area on both arms I am getting a strong feeling that its on fire. this happens when I pick anything up from heavy items to a cell phone. I get these pains and fire feelings. the feeling shoots from elbow to mid forearm. what could this be?

Dear patient
you seem to have tennis elbow. In this condition there is inflammation on the lateral epicondyle of humerus at the extensor muscle origin. this happens in middle aged patients. Pain increases on lifting weights and twisting movements of wrist so you should avoid that. Start tab zerodol sp twice a day and do hot water fomentation. If not improved local depomedrol injection gives relief in almost all cases. Please consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area for that.
