Know When It’s Time to Get Elbow Treatment

Elbow pain can interfere with daily activities, work, and sports, and persistent or worsening discomfort is a sign your body needs help. While many cases improve with rest and simple care, ongoing or severe symptoms may indicate a deeper problem that requires professional evaluation.

You should request an appointment with an elbow doctor or elbow surgeon if you notice any of these symptoms:

  • Pain lasting more than a few weeks without improvement
  • Discomfort that worsens with activity, lifting, or gripping
  • Stiffness, swelling, or tenderness around the joint
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arm or hand
  • Loss of range of motion or difficulty bending or straightening the elbow
  • Elbow pain accompanied by fever, redness, or warmth in the joint

You may also need to see an elbow expert if you believe you have one of the following injuries or conditions:

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
  • Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
  • Elbow arthritis
  • Bursitis (olecranon bursitis)
  • Ligament sprains or tears
  • Tendon injuries or ruptures
  • Elbow fractures or dislocations
