You wrote:"Current medical treatment: hot spot on left arm." The burning sensation you are experiencing around the elbow might be caused by tendinitis (inflammation or irritation of the tendon), or it could be inflammation of the joint. You can try with to temporarily treat the symptoms using anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen. If the pain persists, you can then consult a orthopedist.
