Stelbow (eng) Short for stockroom elbow. An injury commonly sustained whilst working in stockrooms. Caused by twisting or bruising to the elbow area. Exaserbated by heavy lifting of items, such as shoes. Sufferors may experience symptoms similar to tennis elbow or irn bru shin injuries. Inflammation is localised and recovery time is usually a period of days post injury. Treatments may relieve pain with the use of ice or analgesics such as ibuprofen or paraceramol. Resting the affected limb is necessary to prevent further damage to tissue, blood capillaries and ligaments. Failure to reduce stress levels may lead to numbness and digit loss.
