Hey there!
My father has recently experienced what he thinks is tendinitis / enflamed ligament in him elbow. He says it feels exactly like tendinitis but the center of the pain is the knobby bone in his elbow(sorry for the lack of knowledge on the name of it..). Any suggestions on what he can do to get rid of/ease the pain?
Another little tidbit of info: the pain only occurs when apply pressure on the wrist (like a fly motion).
Thanks so much!
Rest (at least 1 week rest from physical activity)
Ice (4 times a day for 30 minutes each time)
Elevation (keep the arm above the heart as much as possible)
Ibuprofen (As needed, but not to exceed 3 doses per day)
Water (At least 1 gal of water per day)
Mobility (keep the area moving and LIGHTLY stretched)
Also I would recommend seeing a chiropractor to work the area out for a bit. If the pain gets worse or starts to become sharp or stabbing in nature, please see a doctor and get some xrays.
