What causes elbow pain?
The main reason is chronic tendon injury. Excessive use of hands will cause aseptic inflammation of tendon anchorage in elbow joints and other parts, leading to pain. Common clinical diseases include tennis elbow and mouse hand. With the aggravation of pain symptoms, the function of hand joints will be affected. Treatment mainly through reducing hand operation, using physical therapy, hot compress, drugs and other ways to alleviate symptoms.

First, if the elbow pain is located in the lateral epicondyle of the elbow joint, it is generally believed that it is caused by lateral epicondylitis of the humerus, that is, tennis elbow. Its treatment requires proper elbow immobilization to avoid local exertion. In addition, local drug blocking therapy and radiation shock wave can also be used for treatment.

Second, if the elbow joint pain is located on the inside of the elbow joint, it is generally considered to be caused by the medial epicondylitis of the humerus, and its treatment method is the same as that of the lateral epicondylitis of the humerus.

Third, elbow pain is located inside the elbow joint. Generally speaking, it is caused by local tendinitis, or degenerative changes of elbow joint, or traumatic arthritis and myositis ossificans.

Treatment method 1. There are many reasons for elbow pain. Lateral pain is generally caused by fatigue. In addition to some chronic diseases, some long tumors can cause pain. In most cases, routine pain is generally a problem of use, some of which are work, heavy physical labor, or exercise and fitness. Sometimes playing mobile phone, playing mouse, playing mahjong, and even lesbians doing housework and knitting can cause elbow pain. The reason is mainly a state of fatigue, which is related to the frequency of use.

Pay attention to rest, even strictly speaking, for elbow pain, you should suspend the affected limb, that is, raise the joint like a fracture, but it is said that three months and two weeks like a fracture is not a good conservative treatment. In the case of nursed back to health, combined with some drugs, such as taking some non-steroidal drugs, celebrex or Ankang, or Fenbid orally, and at the same time using some drugs to regulate muscles, such as Miao Na, or applying some plasters externally, all have the effect of comprehensive treatment.

Second, the causes of elbow pain are strain, local cold, osteoarthritis and so on. Osteoarthritis is mainly manifested as local pain, tenderness and limited activity, which can be treated by oral isosorbide (glucosamine sulfate capsule) under the guidance of a doctor. The medicine is often used to treat osteoarthritis in all parts of the body, with anti-inflammatory effect, which can relieve the pain of osteoarthritis and improve joint function. It can inhibit the production of superoxide free radicals in damaged cells, prevent the damage of corticosteroids and some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to chondrocytes, and reduce the release of endotoxin factors in damaged cells. Avoid fatigue at ordinary times and keep warm.
