Left Elbow hurting need advice - Tennis Elbow? (srs)

[Arkileon]

I'm not supposed to be here, but you guys seem like you'd know what to do in this case.


Not sure if this is tennis elbow or not.

Started off with a slight popping noise and weird sensation in my left elbow whenever I would do some sort of pulling motion - even pulling open doors caused it:



So I've been taking it easy on exercises. Now I currently get a weird sensation near my left elbow when I bend my arm:



Around this area but on the opposite arm obviously.


Are these symptoms of Tennis Elbow, and how can I treat them? I've been going back to the gym after like a week off (when I stop feeling sensation) which then triggers the same stuff, so I'm going to chill out for longer this time.

Your diagram appears to be the forearm, not the elbow. Try a chiropractor who does joints. Bet radius is moderately dislocated.

About three years ago, I felt a bit of a 'snap' in the exact location you're describing while performing overheat dumbbell raises on my right arm. It hurt a bit, but not too intense. For the next few months I would feel the same 'snap' feeling almost every time I would raise my arm for any reason. Just to open a door or wash my hair for instance. Did something move out of place? Was it a micro tear? I have no idea. Took it easy for about a month on that arm, and then continued to work it normally as I didn't feel any pain while working out. Within about 3-6 months the issue went away and it has never returned. Needless to say, I have never done overhead tricep presses since . Not sure if you're going thru the same thing, but that's my story. Good luck to you friend.
