Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You have stiffness of your muscles. It can be due to vitamin D3 and trace elements deficiency as you are also having muscle cramps. You can get your vitamin D3 level and if low it can be supplemented. Analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief can be taken. It can be further investigated for other causes by x ray of elbows joint. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
