I’m suffering with this awful pain in my arm. It’s been a few weeks now. At first I thought it would ease off but there’s been no improvement.
As per the image, the pain is around my elbow and down just below the elbow on the outside and extends a little way down my arm too. It’s worse when lifting things , opening bottles with a twisting motion or anything that involves twisting my arm.
It also hurts when I have my arm just hanging by my side, feels like a tightness/pressure pain.
It hurts when bending my elbow too.
It’s a mix between burning, dragging, sharp and aching pain.
Oh and the arm is sore to the touch in certain areas where I have put crosses in the picture.
I went to the GP and I have a physio appointment next week.
I’ve noticed the shoulder/neck muscle on that side is also tight and sore.
Has anyone had similar? Even ibuprofen isn’t really touching it , I’ve also tried ibuprofen gel and ice. No real improvement.
