Can I pass physical at MEPS with a slight case of tennis elbow?
I am going to the MEPS in about 10 days. I have a slightly aggravated tendon or ligament in my elbow that reduces my arm to about 15 degrees less than straight. I have been approved to go for all kinds of other injuries, ACL tears and ankle tears and breakage. I did not mention my elbow because it does not cause any problems. I can still do push ups and pull ups. I can still ride BMX damn well. I didn’t even consider it until I read the descriptions of exercises done at MEPS. I can touch thumbs to shoulders, but when I extend arms out in front with palms up, one arm is a little off. Considering getting a cortisone shot before I go. Does it sound like I will be DQ’d for this?

It might bring concern or the medical examiner may ask to see you separately for a closer inspection if they notice anything that they are looking for as signs to DQ you. If you think a cortisone shot might help if you are that worried, perhaps.
They are mainly looking fo range of motion, and proper muscle and bone strength. See link for more info.
they will check you range of motion for your joints. if you can’t do everything they ask your entry may be delayed. Just don’t be obvious about it.
