    have you been to the doctor ? i had something similiar in the shoulder, got an mri and it was an inflammation (tendonitis), ive been doing the rubber band rehab and it hasnt felt this good for the last 10 months...

    go see ur doc, its always better to be safe than sorry, and stop working out for somet time, give ur elbow a little rest

    Your symptoms probably are indicative of Tricep tendonitis. Skull crushers and overhead extensions put a great deal of strain on the triceps tendon and create an enviroment ripe for microtrauma. Generally takes a long time to heal and will be reinjured with these exercises if healing time isn't given. I would take a little time off all tri work, ice, stretch, massage the area then gently reintroduce pressdowns, CGBP etc...I wouldn't do any overhead extensions for a few weeks or skull chrushers. When you do start these exercises, begin lightly. Stretch out your tris prior to any activity.
