Pain in Arm?

Question

I have a pain in my arm that goes just from around my elbow and its painful only when picking up small amounts of weight , Better half claims I need to see a Chiropractor that Im mis aligned somewhere in my neck,

Answer 1

Sounds like you have tennis elbow. See a doctor.

Answer 2

Your better half could be right. Pain in or down the arms can signal a neck disc problem or pinched nerve. I had neck surgery last year for ruptured discs that caused a lot of pain,burning, tingling, numbness etc down my arm and into my hands. I didn't lift anything! If it is only pain in the elbow it may be something wrong there, there is a nerve that runs under the elbow that can get inflamed and even make your hand hurt. I think the best thing to do is see a doctor an explain what you are experiencing. You may need an X-ray or MRI.

Good luck.

Answer 3

The simplest things can cause this to happen. Yes you could have a dislocated rib, shoulder etc. If your on the computer allot, (as with me nearly 20 years on a computer) it could be tennis elbow or golfers elbow, Or early stages of CTS or tendentious. The chiropractor can best judge what you truly have. I have went to the chiropractor for 10 years. His exam was better then my regular doctor. So get checked out as soon as possible.
