I work as a stocker in a pet food place, lift 40-50 pound bags of food, and have done triceps, biceps,chest and shoulder exercises for the past month, and noticed a pain in my left forearm and outer elbow that throbs, slightly weakens the elbow, and hurts when i flex my bicep. I first noticed it when doing barbell curls, but i think the bag lifting is what created it totally. HOW DO I KNOW IF I TORE SOMETHING, or whether its like tennis elbow, ect? Can i still weight lift if its tennis elbow, or do i have to waste time by letting it heal? PLEASE HELP!

I guess I have 2 parts to my question.
1. I have just started playing golf for the first time. I am 26 years old. I have been taking tips from my friends who have been playing since they where kids. I after about a week or so, my left forearm, wrist and back started to get sore (I’m right-handed). There is actually a light sharp pain in my left elbow joint when I try to fully extend my left arm. Does this mean my swing form is incorrect?
2. I can officially admit that I love this game and I am addicted to it. I just played my first 9 holes and I love the game even more. However, after about 4 weeks of playing my left forearm and wrist remains sore. I know I should stop and let it heal, but I always hear practicing everyday will improve your game. I should mention that I am not hitting over 100 balls everytime I visit the driving range. The most I would do is about 50. Is it good to practice your swing when your sore?
