Any idea what type of elbow injury this is?

Question

around 6 months ago during wrestling season my elbow was injured by a impact straight to it(it was tackled while are was extended) at first the pain was unbearable and I couldn't straighten my arm without feeling like a bolt of lightning was going through it. But the little sports medical staff at my school said (it looks like just a little nerve damage) So I was back to practice 2 days later, and back to weight training as well. 6 months later my arm still isn't back to 100 percent.(every time i extend my are forcefully, like throwing a ball it pops and hurts) So I went and got it x-rayed it isn't a fracture or break, so they suspect soft tissue damage, ( the tendons to be exact) and put me on prednisone hoping for some results.

can someone please tell me what type of injury this may be?

Answer 1

we can't possibly be sure but just a suggestion,it could be what is called tennis elbow.....good luck

Answer 2

What you are describing sound like a ruptured biceps tendon. My husband went  through this type of injury.   He had surgery done one week later.  I would go to an orthopedic surgeon and see what they say if you haven't already done this.
