What Causes Pain In The Arm?

Hello, I have been suffering with pain in my right arm. It hurts between the elbow down. Last year it got caught in a ladder as I was folding it. It got twisted and the pain has become more frequent. There is no tingle in the fingers just bad pain with loss of strengh in the lower part of the right arm. Could you please advise what this might be. Thanks for you time. Elaine

hello elaine , since its been a year since the injury it could be a unnoticed ligament injury to your elbow with a possiblity of nerve damage(which often goes unnoticed).i would recommend you to go see a doctor immediately as elbow problems are quite disabling
