Elbow problem- bursitis? gout? other? |
My husband's elbow is suddenly painful. It is swollen, red, and hot to the touch. He has been doing a lot of work lately and may have injured it but has no specific memory of banging it on anything in particular. Could it be either of the two problems above? If so- how serious is this and what do we do. We are busy moving and he has already been to the ER this week for stitches and a tetanus shot. Is this a serious concern for the long term? (Yes, I know nobody can offer official medical advice via the internet without seeing a patient). great last sentence!! make an appointment with the doctor. skip the ER for now -that's not what it's for. sounds like bursitis i have it in my knees very painful, could be something else make a doctor apt and they'll do xrays |
