Okay about three weeks ago my right arm was hurting right below my elbow and about an inch from that point. Then it started to move up my elbow to my shoulder, it usually just hurt below the elbow though. Well I went to see my doctor and she told me I have an Elbow Inflammation. She gave me some medication called Diclofenac to help my arm. I've been taking it for about four days when yesterday pain just shot through my arm at work and it hurt so bad I stopped moving it and was working for about an hour using my left hand (which was really hard cause I'm right handed). I don't know if it's cause I wasn't moving my arm or if it's something else wrong with it too, but my hand had gone completely numb! It was even turning a light tent of blue! My could feel my hand later and my arm stopped hurting, but I just don't get what's going on. My arm is hurting worse at times now then before I got the medication!! Shouldn't the medicine be helping me with the pain and uninflating my arm not making it hurt worse and swelling like a freaking balloon!!

I'm not a doctor, but I'd get that re-looked at ASAP.
Not to alarm you, but any time an extremity turns a tint of blue it could be serious. It could be that the inflammation is restricting blood flow, or it could be an outright bloodclot. Either way, I wouldn't wait too long before getting it looked at again. Hopefully, it's nothing major.

How is your arm now?
A lot of times medical doctors will only treat the symptons-not the cause. I had the same
Problem before and found these pills- glutothione. Not the ones that are in the stores. These are patented with a composite patent and worked within 2 weeks. These pills are able to penetrate the cell wall and works on a celluar level.

My arm is fine now. I found out it was an elbow inflammation (caused by lifting to much). I was given some pills to help it, my arm was feeling better then it started hurting at work again so I stopped taking them and then a couple days later my elbow and arm were fine.
