What causes severe elbow pain?
Patient: I am currently being highly annoyed by what I can only call a sternum cramp. It feels like a joint cramp like one would get in a need or elbow right before a rather loud pop. To my knowledge a sternum should not have such a joint but all the same the feeling is there being highly annoying and rather painful at times. Doctor: Hello,  It could be a tennis elbow.As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. In severe cases steroid injection to the joint cavity might be required.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
