What Causes Pain In Left Elbow While Lifting?

I started a new retail job that requires me to do a lot of heavy lifting. My left elbow began to hurt from all the lifting and now my right elbow is hurting as well. I can barely lift anything now.

What type of doctor should I go see? Can a general practition help?

You probably have tennis elbow and you should consult your ortho doctor, but let me tell you you will have to stop lifting weight in wrong way for it to correct.
