A member asked:
Is there pain when an elbow tendon or liagament partial or fully tears?

Yes: A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone as well as muscles to structures. A tear or rupture is different than tendinitis though (which is what usually occurs at the elbow). A full tear you'd most likely feel (think of when a rubber band breaks).
