Frequently Asked Questions

Pain around the forearm or elbow is commonly caused by:

  • Tennis elbow – damage to a muscle that helps to raise the wrist
  • Golfer elbow – causes pain around the tendons and muscles inside your elbow
  • Sprains and strains
  • Arthritis
  • Poor posture
  • Overuse injuries
  • Nerve damage, such as carpal tunnel syndrome

Less common causes of pain include:

  • Infections around the associated joints
  • Traumatic injury or accident
  • Fractures
  • Circulatory problems, which may be caused by a fracture or other injury
  • Joint dislocation
  • Diabetic nerve pain

Since pain around the forearm and elbow can have so many causes, an ultrasound is always a good idea for an accurate diagnosis. See your doctor if you experience:

  • Ongoing elbow aches
  • Pain around the elbow muscles
  • Ongoing forearm aches, or pain around the forearm muscles
  • Muscle weakness
  • Restricted elbow movement
  • Restricted forearm movement

Ask to see a doctor urgently if you have:

  • Elbow swelling
  • An elbow lump/bump
  • A forearm lump/bump
  • Numbness
  • Weakness that’s getting worse
  • Heat or redness around the joint

These symptoms suggest a possible infection or nerve impingement and should be investigated promptly.

A numb or weak joint must always be taken seriously.

In many cases, elbow aches and forearm aches have benign causes, and they improve with rest.

If you don’t notice an improvement after a few weeks of rest and pain management, ask for a scan.

An ultrasound scan is a quick and easy way to diagnose many causes of elbow pain and forearm pain.

There’s no preparation required. All we suggest is that you wear loose, comfortable clothing because you’ll have to expose your arm for the scan.

It’s a good idea to leave jewellery at home.

First, you’ll be asked to sit or lie comfortably on the examination table. Then, you’ll flex your elbow if possible.

Once your arm is in the right position, the specialist applies a clear, water-based lubricant to the affected area.

This gel allows the ultrasound probe to move smoothly over your skin so that it captures accurate images.

Once you’re ready, the specialist moves the probe over the affected area. The probe captures images and projects them onto a screen.

After the probe captures enough images to make a diagnosis, the specialist will tell you that you’re done.

You can relax, get dressed again if necessary, and wipe away the excess gel.

Your specialist may be able to give you a diagnosis right away, or they may recommend further tests.

After the ultrasound, you can go home and resume your daily activities. It’s a non-invasive, painless procedure with no aftercare required.

No significant preparation is required for this test. 

There is no particular type of care required after a Elbow and Forearm Ultrasound Scan You may resume your regular diet and daily activities unless your doctor advises you differently.

There are no confirmed adverse biological effects on patients or instrument operators caused by exposures to ultrasound at the intensity levels used in diagnostic ultrasound.

But depending on your particular results, the doctor may give you additional or alternative instructions after the procedure.

Many of our patients are concerned that if they come to us for an ultrasound, they won’t be able to go back to public health. That simply is not the case.

Our goal is to give you answers as quickly as possible and get you on the right treatment path fast – no strings attached.

When you come to us, you will be seen by a qualified specialist who can determine if your situation is serious or not that same day.

We don’t want you to wait weeks on end for an appointment because every minute counts when it comes to something as important as your health.

If your situation is serious, our specialist will write to your doctor on the NHS advising them that you need an urgent appointment.
