What Is The Severe Pain In The Right Elbow Radiating To Shoulder Blade?
My husband is 62 and has extreme pain starting in his right elbow to his shoulder blade. He is using ibuprofen and heat, but when he drives and sits at his desk the pain is unbearable. He went to his Primary care dr and a PT today who gave him exercises. Do you have any other idea what this could be?
Pain in elbow is commonly due to tennis elbow.this can be known by examination of elbow by an orthopedician. he should avoid all movement of elbow instead of exercises ,unless examination by ortho specialist rules out and advises movement.sometimes xray maybe needed.Diagnosis is a must.Medication taken by him is okay.
