I have had pain in my right elbow. I have been to the point where I couldn t pick up a glass of tea. I had a cortisone injection and it felt much better. Now all of a sudden the paid is back and it seems to have shooting pain tun down my arm. I now have swelling. I can press where the injection was and it is painful. Not sure what is going on.
