For about 4 months, ive had outside elbow pain when i grip and and pick up objects with my right arm. in addition, i have pain when extended my arm from a bent position. is this something that will subside in its own, or should i get it looked at? elbo

Lateral epicondyliti: Lateral epicondylitis or "tennis elbow" is a common injury caused by repeated movements of extension against weight (eg a tennis backhand serve). Depending on severity of pain and limit to motion, an xray or even an MRI may be necessary. Therapy starts with rest, anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy but chronic (lasting more than weeks) pain needs to be assessed and may require more.
