Accepted Answer

Lateral epicondyliti: Lateral epicondylitis or "tennis elbow" is a common injury caused by repeated movements of extension against weight (eg a tennis backhand serve). Depending on severity of pain and limit to motion, an xray or even an MRI may be necessary. Therapy starts with rest, anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy but chronic (lasting more than weeks) pain needs to be assessed and may require more.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Muscle strain: You probably have strained or created micro tearing of muscles around your elbow.

Question 8

getting forearm and elbow pain. get a sharp pain when my elbow pops and arm locks in place at time when bending. 1 month long. is it forearm or elbow?

Accepted Answer

Loose body?: Locking of the elbow could be caused by a small free floating piece of bone which can form in a joint much like a piece of sand forms a pearl in an oyster. You should go to a orthopedic surgeon to have some x-rays and get it checked out.

Question 9

experiencing elbow crepitus when extending and get locking for 2 months. have elbow pain and tendonitis. mri w/o contrast normal. get better on own?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: They say time heals all wounds. It is possible however that some of the symptoms will improve, and others will not. As long as there's no serious damage that requires physical therapy or surgery, it should be fine to proceed with activity as tolerated after a short period of rest. Ask you doctor if it is appropriate to get physical therapy. Hope this helps!

Question 10

what do i do to get rid of my chronic elbow pain from old sports injury?

Accepted Answer

First need dx: First you must identlify the etiology of the pain whether it be
tendonitis, instability, osteoarthritis etc. Once the problem 
causing the pain is identified it can be corrected or improved
with  nsaids, ice, appropriate stretching and strengthening or
in more severe instances surgical correction.
