What Causes Severe Pain In Left Elbow?

I woke up yesterday with a nasty pain in my left elbow. The pain gets worse if I don t use my arm for a period of time. But if I have been using it, the pain improves some. It s also very sore to the touch. Not sure if this is a pinched nerve or something I should see my PCP about.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such pain could be due tennis elbow and it can be treated with "Tab Diclofenac 50 mg" once in day, it may need imaging study till then better to keep the arm in sling, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
