Ok well I was diagnosed by my pediatrician a year ago that I had Medial Epicondylitis, or elbow tendinitis. I am only 13, and symptoms happened after I pitched in a baseball game. So I went to the doctor and he diagnosed me. Now it’s about 12-13 months later and im back to playing baseball. My elbow has been bothering me the whole year. It is my inner elbow by the way. I can throw, without harm, but after a while, I’d say after 15 throws, I feel the pain in my inner elbow again. I cannot pitch, my elbow feels really delicate and uncomfortable compared to my left elbow.

I have been doing physical exercises like pushups arm curls occasionally, and some Advil, and Aleve. Nothing really works, so I am kind of scared that I might need surgery for it. Is it risky? Like will I ever be able to play baseball again?

I do have mild pain when I make a muscle too.

Well somehow my elbow bone is weird, it’s like sticking out and when I play basketball, football, or swim, it hurts on my inner forearm and inner arm. I got it in both arms. I think this happened because I started to workout and did several push ups a day. I’m not really sure what I have but I think it might be Tendinitis. I’ve had this for months now, and I want to workout again but every time I lift something heavy it hurts. I went to the doctor and she told me my tendons were messed up and I had to take Advil and rest until I recover. Is there any other thing I could do to help my elbow? Like some exercises or any equipment that could help support my bone? Thanks in advance.

Ok. So I go the doctor and he says, I think you have lateral epicondylitis. He figures this out by bending and twisting my arms a few times until I would cringe in pain. I explain it "hurts severely if I bump it." He gives me a shot of Cortisone and says that should help, come back in a few weeks if it still hurts bad.

Well it did, the cortisone did squat. I went back and the next doctor says the same thing. Ice it, take Advil wait a few months, it’ll get better.

WTH? Just chill and wait? Still hurts, and its not getting better at all.

So anyways, I bent my arm and looked closely at it today. There is a lump on my elbow the size of pea exactly where the pain is emanating from. Touching it causes severe pain. I look and see no other spot on my other elbow like this. It’s smooth.

Anyone had a similar like pain and this lump? Is this lump a normal part of lateral epicondylitis?

BTW…HMO ; )
The lump does not seem like a pus filled cyst. It feels fairly solid and stationary. It almost feels like it may be part of some torn or delaminating tendon or cartilage. The pain is severe when it’s touched firmly. On a side note I have a very strong tolerance to pain, which is another reason this worries me.

I will be going back the doctor in about a week, but just wanted to see if anyone had had a similar like experience with this lump.

also how much naproxen(aleve) can I take ? and
how much tylenol can I take ? which is best for severe tennis elbow strain and inflamation?

I have tendonitis in my elbow. The pain extends to my upper arm. I do circuit training 3 times per week. I saw a doctor who advised me to stop all upper body equipment until the tendonitis was gone then add one machine back each week. The problem is my tendonitis has never completely healed. It hurts whether or not I have exercised. I take Advil but it gives me very little relief.

If I do my upper body exercises when the pain isn’t especially severe am I doing further damage to my arm?
