A member asked:
What do you suggest if my elbow has been hurting. it's swollen and it hurts to move it even a little bit. should i go to the doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: A single swollen joint without a good reason is a good reason to see your doc. In the interim you can use an anti inflammatory medication such as naproxen or ibuprofen to help the discomfort.
