Answers:
It is possible that some traumatic arthritis has set in the elbows. The best thing for him would be to return to the orthopedist that performed the procedures and have them checked out. Tell him not to lean on the elbows or to use a viscoelastic pad to lean on. You didn't state what the original reason for the procedures on the elbows was. It is possible that the original cause has prompted a return of the symptoms.Health Question & Answer
Probably arthritis setting in, I had cupital tunnel surgery on my elbow also, and from time to time it gets sore and even swells alittle. I just take some Ibuprofen and that usually takes care of it.Health Question & Answer
