Is Pain And Swelling Around The Elbows Symptoms Of A Tennis Elbow?

Hi, I have had elbow pain that radiates up to the outer portion of my shoulder and sometimes down to my wrist. The elbow is swollen and I have weakness in the shoulder and am unable to lift what I used to be able to. Also, I am unable to lift my arm from the side of my body up. I had a cortizone shot that worked for about 6 weeks and it gradually came back and is now worse then before. Does this sound like tennis elbow?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Tennis elbow predominantly presents with symptoms around the elbow only and doesn't affect the shoulder. If the entire limb is feeling painful and any tingling sensation along with neck pain can suggest a cervical disc disease. So, I would suggest you to take a cervical spine X-ray and consult with an orthopaedician to proceed further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jayganesh
