Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a goalkeeper for soccer, and last night I was on the net, and my arm was fine. When I got home, my elbow was hurting, and it hurt when I used my arm like carrying stuff and trying to use it. I iced it all night, and this morning when I woke up, I iced it again. I had a tingling at the tips of my fingers. The pain has spread from my elbow to my fingers, and it hurts when I bend my fingers also. I am currently taking Lolo, Isotretinoin, Divalproex, Lamotrigine, and Vyvanse. I have ADHD, epilepsy, and scoliosis.

The first line of treatment goes like this,
