In daily life, elbow pain is also a common disease, the cause of the disease and intra-joint hazards and peri-joint hazards are related, such as tennis elbow, golf elbow, etc., may also be a systemic immune disease or cervical spondylosis involving the elbow joint, in short, there are many reasons, patients must pay attention to it.
In the early stage, it is not only necessary to understand the cause clearly, but also to receive a timely examination and go to the local hospital for treatment as soon as possible, so as not to delay the best time to improve the disease and bring irreparable consequences.
Here are 4 consequences of elbow pain not treated in time.
First, the elbow is worn
There are many causes of elbow pain, and if it is caused by traumatic factors, it can lead to fractures and ligament hazards.
If after the fracture, there is no effective treatment, the fracture joint orientation can not return to the original position, it will lead to bone disconnection, a long time, repeated activities in daily life, may lead to elbow joint wear, resulting in pain and limited joint activity, and serious traumatic arthritis.
Second, swelling and limited joint mobility
If the elbow pain is caused by inflammation, it needs to be suspected of rheumatoid or gout, and if it is not actively treated for a long time, it will cause many sequelae and complications, such as swelling and limited joint mobility.
Especially the diseases caused by rheumatism, some elderly people will develop osteoporosis of the joints, repeated swelling of the joints, so if they are not treated in time, the harm caused by them is many, and patients must pay more attention.
Third, the elbow is deformed
Some elbow pain is caused by osteoarthritis, at the beginning of osteoarthritis, the pain is not very obvious, many people will ignore its presence, thinking that the situation is not serious, there is no timely treatment.
In the later stage, with the development of the disease, the difficulty of treatment will increase, which will lead to limited movement of the elbow joint and deformation of the elbow joint, so the elbow joint pain must be detected and treated early to prevent the disease from worsening.
Fourth, nerve hazards
If the elbow joint pain is not treated in time, it will compress some nerves in the elbow with the aggravation of the disease, and even lead to nerve harm, and even hand paralysis, which is very harmful to patients and cannot be ignored.
Because sometimes nerve function is affected, it is necessary to return to normal, and taking neurostatic drugs in time can only improve the disease.
The 4 hazards of elbow pain that are not treated in time must be paid attention to, and at the same time, some relief methods should be understood to ensure that the disease can be effectively controlled.
First, pay attention to rest
In the acute phase of elbow pain (redness, swelling and pain), bed rest is particularly important, and it is even more important to improve the way of movement, and to find the cause of the disease and treat accordingly.
The study found that the probability of tennis players forming elbow pain is very large, so during exercise, we must also pay attention to the intensity of exercise, carry out scientific training, if it has caused elbow pain, you need to stop exercising and rest for a period of time.
Second, drugs
Non-specific drugs can choose non-steroidal drugs, such as ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium, etc., and glucosamine sulfate capsules can be used as specific drugs, thereby relieving elbow pain, improving joint function, promoting cartilage synthesis, and correcting damaged chondrocytes, in order to effectively improve elbow pain.
Everyone has to do things with their hands every day, and sometimes it is normal to have a little pain in the elbow, but if the elbow has incredible pain for a long time, it needs to be paid more attention.
After all, the harm caused by the lack of timely treatment of elbow pain has been introduced above, such as joint wear, elbow joint deformation, osteoporosis, joint swelling and nerve hazards, etc., which will bring unnecessary harm to the human body.
Therefore, friends who often have elbow pain, it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, and if necessary, they must listen to the doctor's arrangement to improve the disease.
