A member asked:

Can a bulging disc in your neck make my tennis elbow more painful?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes.: The upper extremity functions with the nerves from the neck so it is possible for a bulging disc in the neck to cause or increase pain in the elbow. Consider an EMG for evaluation.
