Hi, I injured my left elbow, while in crossfit I was doing an overhead squat trying to find my one rep max, I was at 100 lbs and hyper extended my left arm. I started to ice it immediately and and have rested it for over 4 weeks now. However, it s not getting any better and I m still in a lot of pain. I saw a doctor a few weeks ago and was told it was the tendon and to just rest it for 6 weeks. I do have a little numbness on and off going down to my fingers. Do you think it could be something different?
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor ! I think it will be tennis elbow. You should take tab Aerosol SP painkiller twice a day, daily, and take rest for 3 weeks. Hope this clarifies your concern. Thank you for the query. Take care
