[|Human|] Hi, My arm around my elbow started hurting a couple of months ago. It has progressively gotten worse. I did not bang it. The more I move my arm the more it hurts, and the pain creeps up above my elbow towards my shoulder. When I put pressure like writing on a whiteboard it hurts or when when I carry a gallon of milk. What to you think it is?
[|AI|]  Hello, Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve or arthritis. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam. Some tests may be needed:- Nerve conduction studies- A cervical vertebral column X-ray study for possible bulging disc- An elbow X-ray study-Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
