Intense Elbow Pain, Anyone have/had the same problem?

Question

My elbow has been this way for the last 3-4 years now, and is now getting very much so worse. It always feels like the elbow is under pressure and when extended it snaps/pops. Ive been to a couple doctors and now attempting to go to an orthopedic surgeon. I know that the muscle has to be detached from the bone and im starting to think nerve damage because of tingling fingers. But I can hardly write or type and the pain is bad. I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this happen and what they have done (surgery) or the outcome, know what to expect kinda thing. Thank you!

Answer 1

More than likely the permanent solution will be surgery. You have a good chance of getting some temporary relief if you can find some one that practices NMT. Temporary relief could be for a few days or perhaps even a few weeks while you are waiting for surgery. You may also get a considerable level of pain reduction during rehab. You should talk to an orthopedic surgeon. Delaying surgery for your condition if surgery is indicated is not a good idea.
