Dr. Lin Yunfei
The likelihood of lung cancer is low. It may be related to long-term work or living in dark, damp environments, intense physical activity, etc. In daily life, pay attention to keeping warm, avoid catching a cold, and maintain good indoor ventilation. It could also be due to rheumatic diseases or having caught a chill from inadequate warmth protection. Pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medications can be injected around the elbow joint. In daily life, eat more fresh fruits and green vegetables.
