Since topical gels haven't provided relief, you can try an oral pain reliever like paracetamol or ibuprofen, provided you have no health conditions preventing their use. Applying a cold compress wrapped in a towel for 15 minutes, three times a day, can also help reduce inflammation. Rest the joint and avoid heavy lifting. If the pain persists beyond a few days, worsens, or is accompanied by numbness, swelling, or chest discomfort, please consult a doctor immediately for a proper evaluation to rule out injuries like tendonitis or rotator cuff issues.

Since you found relief with the combination of ibuprofen and paracetamol, you may temporarily continue these generic medications to manage your pain and swelling. Keep using cold packs for 15 minutes a few times a day and rest your arm in a comfortable position. However, because you experienced a fall and have persistent severe pain, it is highly recommended to consult a doctor for a physical examination and an X-ray of your elbow. This is a safe and routine step to rule out any underlying hairline fracture or joint injury. Please avoid lifting heavy objects or straining the arm until you are evaluated.

Since your back pain started after trauma and has lasted 5 days, it could be due to a muscle strain, ligament injury, or, rarely, a fracture. Take adequate rest, avoid heavy lifting, and apply hot or cold compresses for relief. If the pain is severe or persistent, please consult a doctor for proper examination and possible imaging.

Joint pain in the legs and hands may be caused by arthritis, inflammation, vitamin deficiency, or autoimmune conditions. It can also occur due to overuse, ageing, infection, or low bone and muscle strength. Persistent joint pain should not be ignored, as early diagnosis helps prevent worsening. Consult a doctor for proper evaluation, tests if needed, and suitable treatment.

Acute pain below the wrist can be due to strain, tendon inflammation, sprain, or nerve compression from overuse. Rest your hand, avoid heavy activity, apply ice packs, and consider a wrist support; mild pain relievers can help if needed. If there is swelling, numbness, or the pain persists, consult a doctor for proper evaluation.
