Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I work at a daycare and work with 1 year olds. It was naptime and I was begining to pat one of the children on their back to sleep. I pulled the child s blanket from underneath them to cover them and had a sharp pain run from the pinky side of my wrist up towards my elbow. It lasted just a few seconds. A minute or so passed and I began to pat the child. I had to lightly pat the childs back so my wrist wouldn t hurt. About 10 minutes later I went to clean a chair and put a little pressure on my left wrist while wiping out a chair and got the sharp pain again in the same place. It then brought tears to my eyes. What could it be?

What Could Cause Sharp Elbow Pain?
Hello, The symptoms are consistent with inflammatory conditions like tennis elbow. As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
