My elbow hurts like %$*%!

....my right elbow is very painful and I am wondering if it could be the cycling thats caused it as I havent done anything else that could have damaged it. ...I thought it might be the reach but if that were so wouldnt both arms hurt?

It's a pain in the joint, mostly on the outside of the arm...I've had a cold ice bag on it all evening but it still hurts.

.....being a mere male of course I need to suffer...make the most of it etc.....

Cycling does hurt my elbows , has to be a long ride and it doesn't last long but definetly causes the discomfort.

Unless you are doing any other repetative arm movements it most likely is the cycling.

...I gave up the beer already lol!

...the Mrs has spoken ....apparently it is certainly a case of tennis elbow...not cyclist elbow but tennis elbow. I have been prescribed anti inflamatory cream and pills and given a programme of exercises including ball squeezing, which she said she would apply violently if I did not do as I was told.....oooh er...matron!
