Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have right elbow pain , which is radiating towards your wrist and interfering in work . Well there can be many reasons for elbow opain like :-
- Bursitis
-Cubital tunnel syndrome , due to ulnar nerve injury .
- Golfer's elbow
- Sprains and strains
- Tendinitis
- Tennis elbow
It seems to me that in your case the probable reason for elbow pain is either cubital tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow which usually occur due to repeated movements . I would suggest you to give full rest to your arm , start stretching exercises and start physical therapy if elbow . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis and rule out other causes . Doctor will take history and examine physically and may order X-ray or CT scan . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory . Sometimes surgery is also require .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
