A member asked:
The outer part of my right elbow occasionally hurts when i extend or bend it. there's no bumps or swelling, so could it be tennis elbow?

Yes: Is it tender when you touch it? It can be tricky with heat, extension exercises, injections, I would discuss this with your physician. If it's a bother. Otherwise try simple things like heat or cold

Yes: That sounds pretty classic for tennis elbow, otherwise known as lateral epicondylitis.
