Could my elbow pain be a lingering injury?

Patient's Query

Hi, I fell on my elbow, had an inflamed tendon preventing me from extending my arm fully for a couple of weeks and an infection, the wound took 2 months to heal as it got infected but did heal up fine, it was xrayed and all seemed fine. It's now been 8 months, the point of my elbow doesn't feel as smooth as the other one now, it hurts more when I bang that elbow, it hurts when I do specific exercises like press ups or bicep curls and tricep overhead extensions (those hurt the most), the pain is like a strong stinging pain. I wanted to ask if this sounds like any specific injury or condition?

Orthopedic

Answered by Dr. Deep Chakraborty

You could have developed bursitis, an inflamed condition of the sacs cushioning your joints. When these sacs become irritated, movements might cause pain. Ice packs may help, as can avoiding aggravating activities and gentle stretches. However, if pain persists, consult an orthopedist. They'll properly assess and recommend next steps for managing this elbow issue.

Im a female 33 years old i suffer from scoliosis since birth and ive done 3 operation the last one was in 2004 which caused injury to my spinal cord. I can feel and walk with crutch and i can take one or two step without support, my right leg is more affected than my left. I read that only injuries less than one year or 2 is perfect for stem cells, my injury is 20 years old. Would it be possible for the stem cell therapy to work in my case ? Thank you

Female | 33

You are hoping stem cell therapy might help with your scoliosis. But stem cell therapy is still being studied and is not a normal treatment for back injuries yet. Since your injury happened a while ago, it may be less likely to work well. It is important to keep following your current treatment plan. You should talk to your orthopedist about any new therapies that might help you too.

You better see an Orthopedic Specialist. ACL injuries necessitate accurate diagnosis and treatment to prevent additional damage. Sometimes physiotherapy may be beneficial, but it is more advisable to seek the advice of a specialist in order to get an adequate treatment regimen. Since the buckling can be a symptom of an unstable joint, you must address it immediately.

How to get rid of arthritis in fingers?

Female | 45

Acupuncture helps in opening up the energy level ( commonly referred as 'Qi' in acupuncture theory).
Acupuncture needles are put on various parts of the body which helps in increasing the blood flow.
It has an anti inflammatory effect. It stops body's inflammatory response, increases blood flow and relaxes muscle tone. It helps in flushing out toxins from the body. Acupuncture releases endorphins which are natural hormones to reduce the feeling of pain and puts the patient in ultimate relaxed state i.e feeling of well being.
Electro acupuncture pulsates electric current through the needles.
Such procedure gives quick response and helps in reducing both pain and inflammation in people with arthritis.

i’m an 18 year old female i’ve had shoulder pain for 7-8 months ever since a truck hood fell on me it’s cause serious pain and otc medication doesn’t help. i’ve gotten scans but no results back yet.

Female | 18

This may occur due to torn muscles or because the tendons gained injuries. Unrelenting pain might require more therapeutic medications, such as physiotherapy, and it can also go to surgery if the scan shows the result. You took the right path first to have the scans done. Take breaks ask for help, and visit an orthopedist.

And lil bit sorry for the bad explanation. And thanks

Male | 17

The redness, bleeding, and pus are signs that your wounds might be infected. It's important to keep the wounds clean and dry. Use Betadine for dressing, as it helps prevent infection. Avoid putting too much pressure on your leg wounds to reduce bleeding. Your wounds will heal with time.

I had shoulder pain 2 weeks back and I met the ortho who asked me to get MRI done as i could barely move my arm. I have been diagnosed with tendinosis in shoulder. I'm on medication and started physio. I want to know how long will it take to heal. I'm in pain since last evening.

Female | 35

When your shoulder tendons have tendinosis it means they're damaged. Doing too much with your arms or just getting older can cause it. The time it takes to get better is different for everybody. As long as you take the medicine and do the physio that should help. Pain can come and go while you're getting better, so don't worry if it starts hurting again. Feel better!

The accident you experienced days ago could cause this pain. Sometimes, injuries make tissues in our hands get hurt, leading to discomfort. You must rest your hand and apply ice to minimize swelling - raise it too. Give your hand a break so it can properly recover.
