What is the most common cause of elbow pain?
I have developed carpal tunnel in my right hand from working too hard on my ranch – and I fear the left elbow got abused as well. I think I have a bit of arthritus in my joints as well. I need to know what sort of doctor could help me with the elbow pain – and diagnose what the problem is. My primary care doctor just takes x-rays and tells me nothing is wrong. When I finally went to a hand doctor (he is actually a plastic surgeon), he said that was just silly. The test for carpal tunnel is done using electronic impulses that test nerve activity. Now I am wondering who I should see about the elbow – I don’t want to spend $’s for doctors that aren’t going to help me.
