Asking for Mother, Female, 52 years old, Islamabad
Hello sir
I actually want to ask about my mother. She fell down like 3 years ago and she got elbow bursa problem. She went to the doctor who have her medicines but it doesn't work like proper treatment. Now the pain is spreading from elbow to shoulder, head and than on the other side too. She also hot sweeping in her left arm near the elbow area where the bursa is damaged probably. Can you please comment on this Thankyou
Hello, This is elbow bursitis.Nees ti be treated with great care. Keep an eye on any infection fever or swelling. If not then Pain killers would do for a month or so and then when pain occurs Ice the elbow for 15-20,mons atleast twice aday. Wear elbow sleeve. Avoid pressure and strenuous work from that hand or shoulder. Physiotherapy and gentle stretches would help. It takes time to heal depending in how well one takes care of it. If all fails then steroid injections in the joint or surgery would be required
Anti inflammatory might help but I would prefer to get MRI of elbow if clinically indicated.
probably she has supra-spinatus bursitis in her shoulder. if so will need injection in the shoulder and exercise
