  • Hello,
    You can consult a physiotherapist and start a treatment based on movement and exercises, you'll need a prescription from your doctor first. You don't need to do any kind of imageries, eventually an echography, but not much more.
    You can also stop the movements that reproduce your pain (typing on your keybord for example).

  • Hello, It could be various pathologies. It could be a tendinopathy or something else? We can't know without examining you. You should first go and see a health professional to have your elbow examined. Have you had trauma to your elbow or did it happen suddenly? Is the pain at rest or when you use your elbow? etc.. After seeing your gp, he or she can refer you to a qualified professional or physiotherapist.
    Have a nice day

    You can have an assessment done by an osteopath, so you can receive treatment directly if indicated. Or go see an orthopedist who may do imaging and prescribe rehabilitation care.
