A member asked:
Please advise if it's normal to get elbow pain when extending arm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Pain in the elbow can represent anything from joint problems (i.E arthritis) to ligament/tendon problems or instability or infection or nerve impingement, etc. If symptoms are persistent/disabling i'd recommend seeing a physician.
