Pain in joints..

I've got this intense ache in my elbow joint (The front of it, anterior view).. It's been there for the whole day now and when I move it it usually gets worse. The intensity never increases but the frequency of feeling the ache does (When I move my arms around).. It's a dull, very annoying and quite painful ache.. Any suggestions? (I've tried Painkillers.. They arent working at all..)

Have a read of this :smile:

Give it a good rest > massage & stretch > see your doctor.

Dull ache - sounds muscular.
Been doing any strenuous sports recently?
If it doesn't ease off then seeyour doctor, like kam said.

Yeah.. I think it's tendon related.. It's not exactly my joints.. but it hurts like hell whatever it is :frown:

The thing is I havent done anything which could have strained my muscles.. The pain just appeared one fine morning..

What kind of movement brings it on?
Bending and stretching or supination/pronation ("driving in a screw-movement")
