Default Forearm/Elbow Injury?

Hi there,
I just finished Stage 3 of NROL4W and in my last workout I must have hurt myself, I didn't realize it at the time however. The next morning I woke up with pain in my forearm when I try to carry anything of any weight (even my coffee mug is uncomfortable). I've been trying to baby it as obviously I want it to get better quickly (I have two small boys so I guess it could have happened lifting one of them too). It feels worse at the end of the day. I don't have serious pain. It does feel like my elbow is bruised to the touch. I can lean on my arm and it doesn't hurt, it just hurts and is weak if I'm lifting something. Does anyone have any idea what I injured? or if I need to go to a doctor? Thanks

Could be a tendonitis ... can you post a pic of where in your elbow it is?

It's actually in the top of my elbow where it feels bruised (same as example pic below). I'm not sure how to post pictures. However, I found that the example of how we are supposed to list our ailments and the example actually has all the same symptoms as me but it doesn't say what was wrong with him.

Here it is:

"1. I started noticing my elbow pain about a month ago.
2. It seemed to happen after bench pressing, but now I can feel it when I pick up a bag of groceries or my briefcase.
3. The pain is in my right elbow. If I look at getbodysmart, it looks like it's over the lateral epicondyle. Here's a picture:

4. The pain is mostly achy, but I get sharp twinges when I pick things up or when I use a screwdriver.
5. The pain used to be intermittent, but now I kinda feel it there most of the time and its worse when I use my right hand.
6. Anything that involves gripping makes my elbow hurt.
7. I've been taking advil for the pain that seems to be okay, but I don't like taking stuff for pain.
8. Sometimes, the pain kinda travels down my arm into my hand. It's not shooting, but just moves in that direction.
9. I can barely do dumbbell curls anymore. Lifting a heavy bag of groceries is right out.
10. I just want to get better. Could this be a nerve injury?
11. I don't think I've injured my elbow before, but if I bang my elbow against something by accident, the pain is horrible!
12. It's not really getting any worse, but it sure isn't getting any better!"

I can really related to #11, I've bumbed it a couple times and it really hurts then!

It sounds like you have a lateral epicondylitis ... this is a great treatment protocol for it by Bryan Chung (bryanc) who has done extensive research in this subject.

Brian: Can you fix my elbows?
