My partner has had intense and persistent pain in his right elbow for about two months. Despite applying pain relief cream several evenings, nothing is improving. What should we do?

Yes, it is important to consult a doctor if the pain persists for more than 7 days, especially if it seems to be getting worse. A doctor can evaluate the problem and provide appropriate treatment. In the meantime, over-the-counter pain relievers or anti-inflammatories may help provide relief, but it is important to follow up with a medical professional to rule out any underlying issues.
