i had some elbow pain after back day about three weeks ago, i was doing wide grip pulldowns, barbell rows, a little heavy but nothing crazy. come the end of the back workout my elbow was on fire and I could not do my biceps routine. three weeks later i am STILL getting elbow pain when i fully extend my arm and put my hand in a palm-up position.

I have seen my orthopedist and he took a look at it and tested my strength and he said it was ok to him. the pain comes and goes can anyone help me ?

If it hurt during back exercises, the chances are good that you got out of your groove on a rep or two. Was it the barbell rows that did it to you? Was it a stinging type feeling?

Whatever caused it, don't try to train through pain. Keep note of how long it hurts, and report back to us on it -- that will tell a lot about what might be wrong.

Where exactly is the pain?

it seems to be when my arm is fully stretched out, and hurts more when i turn my wrist away from my body. i can do tricep pulldowns and certain exercises with no pain, but simple things like pulling a door open or even flexing my bicep causes pain, the pain is near the "funny bone" area. if i had to locate it. there is point tenderness in that area.

So it is on the back aspect of the elbow? More towards the inside of the elbow?

Possibly a medial epicondylitis / golfers elbow.
