Severe pain in one elbow. Had an accident few years ago and facing the problem since then. But recently the pain has increased. Should I get an X ray done. Also do I need to do any other tests?

First you need to consult an expert in Elbow conditions & then you can decide about investigation. Wish getting X rays & Pet scan & doing operation on self was cake walk but you need a medical prescription for all, as per Indian law. Best wishes
