Signs You Need Elbow Surgery
There are some common signs that indicate it may be time to consider elbow surgery. These include:
- Persistent pain or swelling in the elbow even after rest and over-the-counter medications
- Limited range of motion in the elbow area
- Inability to lift objects because of instability or weakness in the shoulder joint
