A shoulder weakness can put pressure on the elbow and indirectly on the wrist.
Lifting weights needs stability from the shoulder first then strength from elbow and wrist.
Next Steps
visit a physiotherapist for a thorough examination for your shoulder strength and tightness around the elbow.
Health Tips
can apply ice for temporary relief.
