What Causes Pain In The Elbow After Surgery For Cancer?
i had cancer removed by my elbow 6 months ago. before the surgery they did special x rays of the spot to see where the cancer would go if it spread. They put 4 shots right into my elbow for the x ray. Now my elbow is very sore and hurts a lot right in my elbow. The surgery was extensive as i had stage 1.9 melonoma and they wanted to get it all. do you have any suggestions on what the problem could be now? I noted that it even hurt when I shook hands at church today.

Hello,
It could be a contusion.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
