Elbow Pain When Straightening Out My Arm?
Posted: 03-22-07 10:04am

The three major sports i play are Bowling, Tennis and Golf. A couple months ago while i was playing tennis i felt a slight twinge in my right arm but I didn't think about it too much. But now, I think I might have hurt my elbow worse doing pushups or something. Whenever i try to straighten my arm out fully(locking my elbow), it hurts really badly. This is the only time it hurts.

Anyone have suggestions?

You might have to pop in and see a pysical therapist, sounds possibly like you have "tennis elbow". Once right to should strengthen your extensor muscles by doing eccentric contractions of the arm.
