General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case and I think that you might be having one of this condition or maybe both.

1.Tennis elbow- pain on outer side of elbow, specially on extension. It is mostly at point which you have described. It can be diagnosed by a orthopaedic doctor. treatment is hot water fomentation, tennis elbow band or steroid injection at inflamed side.

2. Cervical spondylitis- In this condition there is nerve compression in the neck. it can be treated with physiotherapy and tablets.

To confirm the diagnosis you need to visit an orthopedic doctor. He may advise you to get an elbow or neck X-ray to confirm the diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
