Our user asked: "Hello, I have been doing P90X for a while now, though not following a set pattern on the excercises. If I hold my left arm straight out, palm up, my forearm hurts in the area on the right, just where the elbow bends. Is there any particular reason this could be happening, it has been gradual and is getting worse and is tough to do bicep curls without pain now."

Ask a PT Response: "You could be putting stress at the medial aspect of the elbow and developing a condition called medial epicondylitis: http://www.cyberpt.com/cptcondtrtgolferselbow.asp - http://www.cyberpt.com/cptcondtrtgolferselbow.asp Pain at the lateral or outside of the elbow is associated with tennis elbow: http://www.cyberpt.com/cptcondtrt4tenelbow.asp - http://www.cyberpt.com/cptcondtrt4tenelbow.asp . If it is still bothering you, it would probably be a good idea to see a PT as this condition is often treated successfully by a PT."
