Why does my elbow hurt...?

[SofaGeorge]

...and what is wrong with it?

If I try to do a reverse grip EZ bar curl (Scot curl) or front delt work with dumbbells... my elbow... leading a little into the forearm... is screaming with pain.

It has gotten to the point that I wince if I have to shake hands with someone.

This has been going on for about two months.

Sounds just like tendonitis. I have the same problem. Currently, I am using neoprene wraps around my elbows. Also add some glucosamine and flaxseed oil to your diet. Good luck

Sounds like WODINITIS.

Sorry,there is no known cure for this ailment.

Seriously,It sounds like tendontis. Could be caused by several things, like a big jump in strenght gains(steroids) in a short time,overtraining etc...

You might want to take it easy for a week or so to let them heal up.

Like louden_swain said get some elbow sleeves, and be sure your elbows are warmed up good before you get in your heavy sets.

Some good advice there. Acombination of MSM and glucosomine works better than glucosomine alone.
