A member asked:
I woke up and my elbow is swollen and won't move what could possibly be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be seen: Unless you somehow injured it in the night, it is likely either an inflammatory or infections process. Examples of inflammatory conditions that can affect the elbow include bursitis, gout, pseudo gout; infectious processes can include a cellulitis, infected bursitis, or septic elbow. It would be wise to be seen and fully evaluated.
