Question:

I fell and hurt my elbow; have been to several docs, including?

orthopedic surgeon; have been to therapy, had xrays, to no avail. I am still in severe pain. What should I do now?


Answers:

Elbows can be very frustrating joints. The fact that your xrays were negative for a fracture is. a good thing. Keep using ice & meds for pain. (Be careful not to freeze your ulnar nerve...in other words don't keep icing if your fingers start to tingle)

If no improvement, follow-up with your Ortho. Some injuries are hard to detect in the initial exam and may require more testing.
