Elbow pain is inflammation

The arm is a part that people use more often in daily life. It is an important component of the arm and therefore plays an important basic role in the function of the arm. However, the arm is under great pressure in people's production and life, which can easily lead to diseases and affect the health of the arm. For example, elbow pain is one of the common problems. Let's take a look at whether elbow pain is caused by inflammation?

The following are some of the possible causes of elbow pain:

1. Periarthritis of shoulder

Shoulder pain can involve the arm and cause elbow pain. Therefore, if you have elbow pain and shoulder pain, there is a high probability that it is caused by frozen shoulder.

2. Arthritis

Arthritis symptoms often occur in the knees, shoulders, elbows and wrists. The pain is accompanied by redness, swelling, and burning sensation. If it is acute arthritis, it will usually heal on its own in 2-4 weeks, but it is prone to relapse later. If you experience recurring pain in your elbow, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening.

3. Cervical spondylosis

The symptoms of cervical spondylosis are not only cervical pain, but also dizziness, shoulder pain, and upper arm pain. If the patient feels pain in the elbows and occasionally has discomfort in the cervical spine, it may be caused by cervical spondylosis.

Mitigation methods:

1. Apply ice to the painful area for about 15-20 minutes each time. Wrap an ice cube in a towel and apply it to the painful area. Avoid applying ice for too long or allowing ice cubes to come into direct contact with the skin.

2. Reduce gravity-related activities and try not to lift heavy objects with the arm on the painful side to allow the muscles in the painful area to get enough rest.

Take a small amount of pain-relieving medicine, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, etc. It should be noted that if there is no relief after taking painkillers for a week, they should be discontinued.

3. Apply plasters such as tendon and bone patches, traumatic plasters, etc. to the painful area to promote blood circulation in the painful area.

4. Massaging the "Quchi" and "Tianjing" points on the arms can help "promote blood circulation, dredge meridians, and eliminate pain". The pressing time and strength should be appropriate, half an hour is best, and it is best if you feel pain when pressing. You can apply appropriate amount of safflower oil to the painful area for better effect.
