Is this tennis elbow? something else?

About two months ago I started experiencing a mild soreness in my upper & lower arm near the inside of my elbow. I didn't pay much attention to it and continued training normally. Then one day after a back workout that included a lot of pull-ups, dumbbell rows, etc it was much, much worse.

I first thought it was tennis elbow, but the pain is only on the inside of my arm and I have no pain when gripping things. Curling movements and pulling movements are painful, but not nose-crusher type movements. I feel some pain when I turn my wrist over.

I've tried naproxen and ice. Neither do much. I took a week off training, then started doing only exercises that I thought wouldn't hurt it, but I think it's still getting worse. Very frustrating. Advise anyone?

I have the same problem. Have already taken a month off lifting and seemed to get a little better but not fully recovered.

I believe tennis elbow is on the outside of elbow (with palm facing up) inside is golfers elbow, inside pit of elbow is bicep tendonitis and actual elbow is tricep tendonitis. This is just rough as tri and bi interweave at elbow joint. I have tricep tendonitis wich if i hit my elbow against something it friggin kills and any tri exercise besides dips my arm just gives out. I can press with DB but not BB.

Tennis I believe causes gripping problems, you lose grip strength. Doc Sust has a huge sticky on these and treatment.

Ohh btw I had taken naproxin, celebrex ets the only one that seems to work is Tiaprofenic acid ie Surgam, Surgamyl or Tiaprofen.

No. I don't think it's the joint. I feel tendons popping around in there sometimes. If it isn't better by the end of the month I will give in and see a doctor. Working out with one arm sucks.

I have been having some pain in my wrists and forearms, I think in the mussle, not in any bones. Not as bad as COOP77, but I don't want it to go there. It makes workouts a little painfull. I am not taking anything.

As a heavy equip. mechanic I need to grip all the time. Plus workouts 4-5 times a week, maybe carple-tunnel? I don't know. Should I be taking motrin or somthing or just suck it up?

i had a similar situation in my elbow. i couldnt bench press because the weight when bending would bother it. almost felt like my arm was dead because i couldnt move anything. i saw a doctor. they said that it was prolly a strained muscle or something with the tendons. the inflammation would get worse everytime i tryed lifting. i took a couple weeks off from all lifting. did a few excersices on the elbow ( took rubber band and placed it around all five of my fingers and used my fingers to strech the band out. also would take my other hand to the bad arm and pull my hand down to bend and cause a stretch in my wrist. it pulled the forearms a little) it felt better when i got back to lifting but to be honest it didnt go away until i started a cycle. lol hope that helps
