Elbow Pain Conditions
Elbow pain through an occupation, sports or hobbies is more common than arthritic elbow joint pain. This is due to repetitive and excessive overload of the tendons around the elbow leads to painful tendonitis. Degenerative arthritis (also known as osteoarthritis), rheumatoid arthritis or gouty arthritis are the other less common conditions for elbow joint pain.
Occupations involving repetitive use of the wrist and arm muscles are most likely to develop repetitive strain injuries, such as :
- Tennis elbow: Pain at the outer side of the elbow.
- Golfers elbow: Pain at the inner side of the elbow.
- Triceps tendinopathy: Pain over the tip of the elbow.

Tendon problems are also common among sports professionals who play badminton, tennis, golf, cricket, and musical instruments.
Our in-house high-resolution diagnostic ultrasound machine is an excellent diagnostic tool to diagnose the above problems. Diagnostic ultrasound dynamic capability helps to assess the muscle/tendon/ligaments, and nerve-related problems in a real-time environment. That means we can assess the above structures when you are carrying out certain movements of the hand. Ultrasound also guides the injection needle and accurately injects the problematic area and aspirates joint effusion or cysts before steroid shots.
A few examples of professions prone to developing pain around elbow tendons are builders, butchers, carpenters, chefs, drummers, computer & keyboard users, engineers, housekeepers, plumbers, and painters.

"Having played professional sport from 1989-2008, I’ve amassed plenty of aches and pains after numerous operations. I’ve been around the world and seen some of the best Doctors and surgeons out there, and Ram has been right up there with his care and skill. Never in a rush, he’s kind, compassionate and very professional. Not only helped me with knee and shoulder pain, but he’s also treated my wife for elbow pain. My son is now going to see him as he’s seen a difference in how his parents are moving. Thanks for all your help, Darren Gough and Anna Gough"

Are ultrasound guided injections painful?
Discomfort from the needle insertion can be minimised by using a local anaesthesia using a very fine needle. Ram is experienced and carried out more than 30,000 Ultrasound-guided injections so far. He routinely treats complex patients and patients with needle phobia through the technique he developed through his experience.
What is an ultrasound guided cortisone / Steroid / Corticosteroid injection?
A cortisone injection is also known as a Corticosteroid injection or steroid injection. This strong anti-inflammatory medication is used for many inflammatory and arthritis conditions to control pain, swelling, and stiffness, and improve function. Corticosteroid injections are NOT the same used by bodybuilders. Corticosteroid injections do not cause weight gain. To find out more, please visit our ultrasound-guided steroid injections page from the ‘Types of Guided Injection’ menu at the top.
Always consider having the Steroid injections under ultrasound guidance for accuracy.
What is the cost of a private Steroid Injection at one of your UK Clinics?
What is an ultrasound guided hyaluronic acid (HA) injection?
HA injection is also known as Gel injection or Lubricant injection. This viscosupplementation injection is a natural component of synovial fluid. This tends to increase joint fluid viscosity and restore joint lubrication. Hence, acts as a shock absorber to control the joint/tendon symptoms. Limits the further damage to the joint and delays or avoids the need for surgery. Also, helps to enjoy your daily activities or your preferred hobbies. To find out more, please visit our GUIDED ULTRASOUND HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS page from the ‘Types of Guided injection’ menu at the top.
These injections are very popular, especially for knee joint pain. Any number of injections can be taken in a given period, due to minimal or no side effects from these injections. Usually, a course of 3 Injections is preferred, though some may do well just with an injection per year 9 we have patients managing just with 1/year.
What is an ultrasound guided Scan?
A diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the Joints, tendons, muscles, ligaments, nerves, and other soft tissue throughout the body. This helps to identify the abnormalities of the musculoskeletal problems.
can i drive after an injection
You will not be able to drive immediately after the procedure. Bring someone with you or use another form of transport to return home. This is mainly due to your driving license policy, rather than injection efficacy. The majority of motor insurance policies will not allow you to drive for 3-5 hours after the injection with Local Anesthesia.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER AN INJECTION?
After the injection, you may feel pain-free for a couple of hours due to Local anaesthesia. However, the pain returns after 2 hours, and you may even feel more pain for a couple of days due to bruising. Usually, you should start feeling better from the third day onwards. Pain relief from the steroid injection may take 1 to 2 weeks.

HOW TO MANAGE BRUISING PAIN?
Discomfort from the needle insertion can be minimised by using an ice pack (wrapped in a towel, to minimise the risk of frostbite from direct skin contact) to the area of treatment. Use the ice pack 3-4 times a day for 10-15 minutes each time.

WILL I ALWAYS FEEL 100% PAIN FREE?
We can accurately inject the treatment area. However, pain relief depends on several factors, such as the severity of the problem, body response to the steroid injection, rest period following an injection, rehabilitation, and exposure to the risk factors.
HOW MANY INJECTIONS CAN I RECEIVE?
Cortisone Steroid Injections: 3 or 4 per treatment per area per year.
Hyaluronic Acid: no limit as long as you are benefiting.
WHAT CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED?
Arthritis, Tendinopathies, Ligament, Muscle and Nerve-related problems. We also offer trigger point injections for persistent pain (usually a course of 2-5 is effective).
