I started weight lifting again and my elbow hurts when i try to straighten it how can i make it go away ?

Tendonitis: Weight lifting often causes strain injury, and repeated heavy weights can give you a stress-induced tendonitis. good mechanics for lifting (get guidance ), plus gradual increases in weights are essential to prevent. After injury, do not reinjure! Rest and ice, and avoid strain until better
