Hi,
Thanks for the response. I was prescribed yesterday Cataflam (diclofenac potassium), Augmentin and co-proxamol.
The doctor spoke limited English, but from what I gathered he said it was tendonitis, but the way the surrounding muscle and elbow itself felt so hot, he thought it was infected.
The symptoms initially were a high level of pain, especially if trying to move my arm, it felt like my skin was burning - in fact so painful I didn't sleep for two days. It came on after a flight, I would say over a period of 5 hours it went from a light pain to me wondering around swearing and sweating with pain that felt worse than when I have broken bones. The skin around my elbow and extending towards the shoulder and the hand was bright red, but is improving somewhat now.
Would you agree with his diagnosis?
