Why does my elbow hurt?

Question

I play football and recently my elbow hurts too much for even for half-assed push ups and when i turn my hand it hurts... what could be wrong with it?

Answer 1

You could have banged it without realizing it.  There could be fluid in your elbow in that case it needs to be drained.  But  I am guessing you just banged it pretty good.  Ice it and you should be fine.

Answer 2

tendonitis. carpal tunnel syndrome. better see a doctor soon.
