Internal humeral epicondylitis is generally not fatal. Internal humeral epicondylitis is normally caused by strenuous exercise or chronic strain. It mainly causes pain near the elbow joint. Pain can extend to the forearm, which will cause certain restrictions on joint movement at the elbow, but it will not cause other serious effects and will not be fatal. If the pain in the elbow joint is obvious, oral ibuprofen, aspirin and other drugs can be taken under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the symptoms of pain and swelling. Corticosteroids can also be injected locally when necessary. In daily life, reduce elbow activity and pay more attention to rest to reduce the risk of recurrence. If the pain does not improve after 3 to 6 months of conservative treatment, surgery can be considered.
