Two weeks ago I was bitten by a dog and a week later I couldn t extend my arm all the way without immense pain so I went to the doctor and they put me on antibiotics. I finished those but the pain is still there and there is a red/purple line going down the inside of my elbow now exactly where it hurts when I try to extend my arm.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. There might be some deep bites extending to muscles, which can cause sharp pain for few days. You can take Diclofenac/Seratiopeptidase combination for pain relief as it shows good response because of its anti inflammatory actions also. Apply ice packs and immobilize the hand for few days. If the pain persists for long, better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Wishing you good health. Thanks.
