Brief Answer: Need evaluation... Detailed Answer: Hi, I have read your query. It would have been better if you could have mentioned the following details: 1. If you were hurt? if there is no history of trauma, this condition is non-traumatic pathology 2. Whether pain is on right or left side of your arm/elbow. 3. How long since this pain occurred There are many reasons of pain in that area. I would take the help of X-ray (AP and lateral views) to isolate the cause. You may consult an orthopedician and discuss about this test. I hope you have got your answer. Thanks. Dr.Singh.
