I too have this it was in my left elbow and forearm first the doc said it was tennis elbow now I have it in my right elbow
I too have sore elbows and shoulder, I am seeing my doc tuesd for an injection, as like you its affecting my ability to raise my arm, stretch out my arm and pick up objects,, I think its tennis or golf elbow, quite different to fibro but a type of osteoarthritis, he might say its epicondilits which isn,t fbro related, I elbow my way around most of the time and so I think I,ve worn away joints that can be eased with cortisone if you g.p will give it. I,ve rather have a nasty cold than pain!! You an get rid of a cold easy
The other thing he prescribed was prednisone 50mg for 5 days, the next day...no pain which leads me to think that there might be something eles going on?!?. No pain but now have a wicked cold. It's a catch 22!
Get it checked out. It may be tendonitis (i.e. "tennis elbow"). I ignored mine for too long and had to have surgery to correct it. Fibro causes a lot of pain, but not all pain is due to fibro.
Sorry, have problems swolling!!😯
