Question 5

right elbow hurts feels like a needle pain . what to do? surgery?

Accepted Answer

Referral to Surgeon: A sharp pain at the point of the elbow may be caused by damage to the soft tissues over the olecranon (bone) located at this point.  This is often leaned when sitting which can lead to swelling .  This could also be 'tennis elbow' due to repetitive work which involves constant  movement of your elbow. I suggest seeing an Orthopaedic surgeon for proper diagnosis and treatment.
