A member asked:

Every few months i get excruciating pain, both elbows. joints feel like they are being forced apart by a broad, knife that turns. any ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unusual: if it occurs every few months it doesn't sound serious. that being said, would suggest workup with blood testing and xrays.
