No idea what it is from this angle. A doctor exam is probably in order for an accurate diagnosis.

If it is tendonitis, owie@!!!! I don't think mine was tennis elbow, I think it was golf elbow and it took MONTHS to heal.

Is there a certain movement that makes it worse? My hurting movement was raising my arm in the motion to take a drink from a glass.

It's possible that it's inflamed nerves from the way you are describing it. Unfortunately, I have this often enough (I don't seem to learn very fast!!) and know that pain too well.

Ice is a good thing, but do you have anything for reducing nerve irritation/inflammation? That would likely help even more. You want to calm those nerves back down.

But I do agree that a doctor exam may be needed.

Lyme loves injuries. It is a weak spot and it loves to hide out there.

I think you should be checked by a doctor. Just a regular GP. He might ask for an xray, and it might be safer than sorry.

My joint pain hurt so badly. Ice was my best friend. I had to use Advil to sleep at night.

Thanks, Peteza and Traveler.

Peteza - it's constant, but it's worse when I use my elbow (which is nearly everything). But at times, I also can't make a correlation.

Traveler - I've been wondering about nerve pain too. You think an injury can cause inflamed nerves like that? I also seem to have other pain that in my arm that seems referred from the elbow injury, so I've wondered if nerve pain is part of it too.
You said you have inflamed nerves -- do you get them from injury/over-use or just random?
Yes, I've been using many EOs but not really helping. I may try the ALA (that's what has helped in past for nerve issues for me).
I'm kind of wondering if I have an elbow injured that caused nerve pain too. (Thinking out loud. LOL)

I would encourage you to reach for whatever has helped previously!

Yes, I do get nerve inflammation from overuse as well as from injuries. I've injured my back and had my sciatica flare badly for just as many weeks - that's no fun!!! Don't do that!!!! It hurt to sit, stand and lay. eyes

It's also a random thing that happens too, due to the infections. That's when it really irritates me! LOL! For me, it's quercetin, turmeric, ginger, and boswellin that help me when it's really causing me issues.

I agree with you on that! It's hard for me to feel like I can trust them to actually be helpful, as most of my issues stem from having these infections.

Do be careful though, and don't ignore any warning signs to get in to see a doctor!

Daisies, I hope it heals quickly. If it is a tendon..... I feel for you. I think it was six months for mine to heal. I had to wear a brace so I could drink my water.

But that was pre-lyme.

When I got lyme, of did I get nerve pain and aches and owies all over my body. I jokingly said "is it lyme or is it memorex."

I will not forget the horrible pain in my hip.... oh my gosh, I could not get into my car to drive. I bought some electrical contraption and it helped me.

It was so scary being in pain and not knowing what to do.

By the way, I am like you. Doctors are a VERY Last Resort. Since lyme, I just don't trust their judgement concerning my health. I think doctors are great for well people or well-known illnesses. But if you give them a slightly unusual illness, they are at a loss.

I'd suggest also using heat as heat promotes blood flow and that will help with healing if it's a pull versus a tear. You can rotate between heat and ice.

Try and see if there are any motions where you can't weight bear. Use minimal weight like a 16 ouce water bottle or a canned item. Extend your arm straight out with the water bottle in your hand palm facing down and try and raise your arm, try and lower it. Do the same thing with your arm out at 45 degrees from your body, straight out from your side, raised straight up and lower it down. Then repeat all angles but move your forearm up at elbow. If none of those actions cause a reaction you could isolate the arm by putting it in a sling. That may change where the pain is actually refferring from. Hopefully you just pulled a muscle and you can massage it out.

Bosweillia in dmso does wonders for inflammation if you cant do bee venom .

How are you doing today, Daisies? I hope it's eased up at least a bit for you!!!
Posted 6/22/2017 10:28 AM (GMT -5)
Well, I"m sure glad that you discovered it's not likely something torn!!

When is your next HBOT treatment? It will be interesting to know just how much it might help with something like this!

I hope that you continue to get relief from this! I know when my elbow is "doing it's tricks", it makes life a bit more miserable.

Oh! LOL! I keep forgetting that you have one at home!

I've had those issues with my elbow, and I know what you mean!!

I had to wear one of the wraps on my forearm for my tennis elbow. I could not drink from a glass or lift the milk out of the refrigerator.

Glad you are doing better.

Here is the wrap I used: VIEW IMAGE

Mine was a PIA and very uncomfortable. But, the pain when not using it was much worse. Honestly it was about 6 months to cure mine. I was glad my wrap was black because it was atrociously dirty after a day at work.
