**Specialist Doctor's Response:**
**Re: Intermittent Elbow Pain (Possible Nerve Swelling)**
Dear Patient,
Your **intermittent left elbow pain** could stem from nerve compression (e.g., **cubital tunnel syndrome**), arthritis, or tendinitis. Here’s a structured approach:
---
### **Likely Causes & Symptoms**
1. **Cubital Tunnel Syndrome** (Ulnar Nerve Entrapment):
- **Pain/numbness** in the elbow, radiating to the **ring/little finger**.
- Worsens with elbow bending or pressure (e.g., leaning on it).
2. **Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow**:
- Tendon inflammation (pain with gripping or wrist movements).
3. **Osteoarthritis**:
- Age-related joint wear (stiffness, grinding sensation).
---
### **Self-Care Measures**
✔ **Nerve Gliding Exercises**: Gentle stretches (search "ulnar nerve glide").
✔ **Elbow Pad**: Avoid pressure on the nerve during sleep/activities.
✔ **Ice/Warm Compress**: 15 mins, 2–3x/day for inflammation.
---
### **When to Consult?**
- If pain persists >2 weeks or causes **weakness/numbness**.
- For **diagnostic tests** (X-ray, Nerve Conduction Study) or **steroid injections
**For a detailed evaluation and treatment plan, contact me on WhatsApp**: **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two**
