Pain In The Arm And Elbow. Could This Be Due To Damaged Nerve From Exercise?

Hi, I am having left arm pain beginning at the elbow and radiating down and getting for about a month getting progressively worse. I was using a 2 pound weight doing some stretching exercises putting my arm above my head. I also started taking Doxepin and also taking Tamoxifen for 2 years now. Wondering if maybe I damaged a nerve sinc they took my nodes out but also wondering if it could the doxepin.

Doxepin itself does not led to this side effect.Burning pain at elbow & below are can be due to compression of nerve in neck region or due to abnormal stress on elbow during exercises.You should consult to your orthopedic doctor to evaluate this.
