Tennis elbow: Most hand and arm strains have to do with overuse or repetitive motions, hence one such condition is nicknamed "tennis" elbow. There are many things you could have done to strain your right arm, especially if you work in a physical occupation or haul kids around as a mom. Think of everything you use your arm for, then consider seeing your doctor. What we worry about is rarely the problem!

Do NOT worry: It is very common to acquire exertional strains and sprains, and this is not the way ms presents. Do handle your fears pro-actively and see your doctor. Highly likely that your problem can be easily reversed. So, relax, get an appointment and fix your problem. As mentioned, i seriously doubt that your symptoms represent a bad neurological condition if you have only the symptoms described.
