Arm Pain Relief: Understanding Elbow & Upper Arm Discomfort


Question
Hi,
I've been experiencing pain on the inside of my elbows and top/inside part of my
arms (between wrists and elbows). It's gotten so that I have to use both hand to
pick the heavier things up like a gallon of milk for example. I have to switch
from bent to straight several times at night when I sleep. Do you know what this
could be?
Your help is appreciated.

Margie


Answer
when it is on both sides, it suggests a central problem, like a disc bulging in the neck.  If neck position changes it, then that is where the doc should look.  It should also go down to the 5th fingers.  In any event, you need to first see how Alleve, 2 pills twice a day help it for a week, then you need to be checked and probably have nerve conduction studies...
