upper forearm pain @ funny bone area

[scorpion1]

For the last couple of month i've had pain in my forearm right around funny bone area.
I feel most pain with arm fully straightened and lift hand so palm faces the floor when arm down by my side, also hurts if press funny bone area.

Has any body had the same injury? i have't trained in 4 weeks, as i'm recovering from hernia op and pain hasn't got any better.

Any info advice would be great cheers john

Sounds a bit like tennis elbow or tendonitis. First you should go and have it checked to try and determine the actual problem. i would put some Ice on it and see if that settles it down a bit. Then you have a partial idea that it is inflammation. Hard to say.

Very well balanced post. It does sound like tennis elbow and Old Fellas treatment plan sounds right although like a rotator cuff injury, working that area may only keep it inflammed. You may have to not work the arm for a wek or two while nursing it back.
