Should I See An Orthopedist For My Elbow Pain?
If you're experiencing elbow pain, it's important to seek the advice of an orthopedic specialist if you're experiencing any of the following symptoms:
- If your elbow pain persists even after following home remedies like RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) for a few days, it's best to see a specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
- If you're experiencing sudden and intense pain, especially after a fall or injury, you should seek immediate medical attention.
- If you're having difficulty bending or straightening your elbow, it's important to get evaluated by a professional as it can significantly impact daily activities.
- If you experience swelling, redness, or warmth in the affected area, it could be a sign of inflammation and require a more serious evaluation.
- Numbness or tingling sensations in the affected elbow could point toward nerve problems that require specialist care.
If you're unsure about the cause of your elbow pain or if it's interfering with your daily life, it's always best to consult an OSMC orthopedic specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
