A member asked:
At night when i sleep. both of my elbows start aching something fierce enough yo wake me up. feels like they're expanding. whet could this be?

Multiple: If it is only your elbows, than it would make sense that it is an overuse injury involving both upper extremities. Something like using a jackhammer, saw, pushups, or even leaning on your elbows while playing video games! can also be early presentation of carpal tunnel syndrome.
