I have had a pain on the bottom section of my right elbow for 2 days now. i only experience the pain when i move my arm. it is getting worse. i dont think it is tennis elbow as i have had that before and the simple test yields no pain.

Bursitis?: This sounds like an inflammation of the elbow bursa, a fluid sac which helps joint movement. Topical NSAIDS like Voltaren gel, and oral ones like ibuprofen can be helpful, or if not improving, a steroid injection could be faster in resolving this. Good luck
