I have some pain in my in forearm but am not sure if it is the beginning of tennis elbow. If you grab your right arm 2/3 the way down the forearm and lightly twist the muscle outward it REALLY hurts.

I've talked with a bunch of people who have had TE but nobody has had this type of pain? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Beagle

Do you remember when you began to feel this pain? And can you recall what activity(-ies) may have triggered this?

A few nights ago, I saw an actor on Jay Leno's show who got surgery on his arm for a pinched nerve. He said he got it from playing poker for 20+ hours straight. Even seemingly harmless activities, such as leaning your arms against the table for an extended period of time, can cause something like this.

It's reallllllly easy to have a hairline fracture on your forearm. Did you hit it on something? Have you been to the ortho?

I can't actually remember exactly when it started but I was serving nicely around that time. Now sometimes when I shank a kicker (with eastern backhand grip) it kills my arm.

Plus the pain when I twist feels like its in a the bone too :(
