Pain in Arm, mostly Near Elbow/Tricep

2017-11-07 02:31:56
At rest I get sharp pains in my elbow are were the triceps attaches. It is very painful to touch and when I extend or flex my arm. I don't remember getting hit there or overextending it. There is some swelling but no bruising. I am also a football player.
