elbow pain

 

He sent me to an orthopedic surgeon, due to conflicting symptoms verses MRI results. I have no pain medially. I was told by othopedic surgeon's PA, I have severe lateral epicondylitis and radial tunnel syndrome. I continue therapy and have better use of my hand with menial tasks. I can now make a fist but with weak grip, and can lift a coffee mug. I continue to have burning on top of the forearm and still cannot extend my elbow. I stretch, I use weights. I cannot get my elbow to extend fully, or place my elbow on a table and lay my arm down flat with palm up.

 

Can you tell me why all of my pain correlates more with lateral epicondylitis then medial epicondylitis. This is one question no one can seem to answer. I work in the medical field and my arm work is repetitive. I have trained myself to do alot left handed but the pain and loss in ROM in the right elbow continues. They have also used the term over use syndrome. Will this get better without surgery?
