Elbow pain after tattoo ! Coincidence?

[itsaldramarama]

Hi I had a tattoo on forearm 4 weeks ago , a tiny part was just below my elbow ( felt every vibration:( )
Now I have developed really painful tendinitis and pain in elbow is really bad especially when gripping or twisting . Any thoughts ?

It’s probably irritated the nerve sheath, it will heal within a few weeks as the tattoo heals and the swelling goes down.

The best treatment for tendonitis is an anti inflammatory and rest. Try not to carry anything heavy with that arm until the pain has gone.

Thanks :) yes hopefully it will ease off , my arm was in an awkward position as well for the back of arm ! Fingers crossed
