Elbow / Forearm Pain?

[ilovemarkb]

Tennis elbow?? I have had pain for around 5 wks. Feels sore all of the time but pain increases........wait for it...... when wiping ones bottom......hair drying my hair....pushing a heavy door forwards. If I reach my arm forward with thumb facing up touch the tip of my elbow (ulna?) it feels like there is a bruise there. Despite the reams of online help I'm still unsure what the problem is??? thanks in advance

OK...I tend to agree with the post of Buenchico......BUT...you have omitted one important point.

Have you got a painful spot when touched over your elbow joint and if so, is it on the outside or inner side of your elbow joint?

The pain is on the inside. My friend wreckons I don't have tennis elbow. She's had hers diagnosed off her GP and mine is different to hers

I have exactly the same thing it is a trapped ulna nerve

Thank you...that was important.
You, in my opinion do not have Tennis Elbow and the suggestion by follyfancier 14.20 is the correct diagnosis.

Pain with Tennis Elbow is in the outside of the elbow and the inside painful spot is diagnostic of many things the common of which being Ulnar Nerve compression. Might I suggest Ibuprofen 400mgms after food for a fortnight and if there is no improvement then see your GP.
