What is wrong with my elbow?!


Question: What is wrong with my elbow!?
In September of last year, I slipped and fell on a rainy patio and slammed my elbow into the ground!. It hurt a little, but only when I touched it!. But after a week it was still tender, and when I touched it i could feel something floating above my joint and it would make a weird creaky noise and sometimes it would feel pinched!. So I went to the doctor and he told me it was probably just inflamed tissue that was irritated, so he perscribed me some anti-inflammatories which I took for three weeks without any results!. I also held an ice pack against my elbow for a few hours every day, and whenever it bothered me!.

It has been almost a year, and now every now and then I hit my elbow gently against something and I get the same pinching feeling as if the injury was yesterday!. How can it still be inflamed after a year!? Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Chances are it is not inflammed!. What could have happened was you either chipped a bone or misaligned your ulna or radius where they connect in the elbow joint!. I would go to a chiropractor who specializes in extremity care!. If it is a misalignment, a chiropractor can adjust it right back into place!. If it's a chipped bone, he would be able to tell that too with an exam!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
