Question
How should elbow osteitis be treated?
Answer
Elbow osteitis may be caused by a sterile inflammation following an elbow joint injury, leading to inflammation of the periosteum. Symptoms include swelling and pain in the elbow joint. Treatment should involve avoiding vigorous exercise, maintaining warmth around the joint, taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and considering acupuncture treatment, medium-frequency electrotherapy, and infrared ray therapy.
