Asking for Self, Female, 40 years old, Rawalpindi
I have been suffering from arm pain for a year and I visited hospital but can't get rid of it. Sometimes it worse and I can't hold a glass of water. Kindly tell the best treatment. Thanks
Dear Patient,
Your symptoms are consistent with chronic tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), which occurs due to persistent inflammation and micro-tears of the tendon at the elbow. When pain continues despite medicines, braces, and physiotherapy, a local steroid injection is a very effective and safe option.
The injection helps to:
• Reduce inflammation
• Relieve pain quickly
• Improve grip strength
• Allow early return to normal activities
The procedure is short, done under aseptic measures, and you can go home the same day.
I would recommend getting it done at Bahria International Hospital for proper evaluation and injection under supervision.
Early treatment will prevent worsening and prolonged disability. Looking forward to helping you recover soon.
Thank you
If the pain is outer side of elbow and going towards the wrist than Most likely diagnosis is Tennis elbow as suggested by my other colleague in this forum . This disease settle on its own within eighteen months. Local steroid injection is an option to relieve this pain as advised by my other colleague.
Hope for the best Inshallah.
Regards
I hope you have found your answer, my fellow esteemed colleagues have explained in detail about your query. You should get it examined, workup shall precede any intervention. If it turns out to be Tennis elbow, you shall go with local injection followed by physiotherapy if surgeon advises after examination. If still doesn't help may need surgery. Avoid prolonged use of analgesics.
you need to modify your activity as it is usually due to some repetitive movement. you can use traditional painkillers and if it doesnt subside intra lesional steroid injections are an option. you can visit clinic for discussion.
Book your online appointment for physiotherapy exercises after Iftar today and then we can schedule in clinic appointment if needed for later.
There is no best treatment than physiotherapy for tennis elbow and you are right it gets worsen over time with medication only. You can visit me at my clinic (better) or book online session via Merham. Clinic Zaeema medical complex 154 k block johar town Lahore . Iftar till 10 pm monday to Sunday
