A member asked:

Elbow pain: If your symptoms are not from a recent injury, an inflammatory process like bursitis or tendonitis would be likely. Arthritis is less likely at your age group. Gout or on overuse syndrome are possibilities. I recommend resting the elbow and a course of anti-inflammatory medications like Advil or Aleve for a week. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your physician or an orthopedic specialist.
