Elbow pain: There exist multiple causes of elbow pain. Most common ones are tennis and golfer's elbows. The pain is located over the bony prominences on both sides of the elbow. The pain is worse when making a fist. Shooting pain sometimes with numbness/tingling from the elbow to the hand may be related to a nerve problem, usually with the ulnar nerve (the funny bone). Further history and physical exam needed.
