I was rear-ended in my vehicle in June of this year. Since then, my right elbow has been hurting. It has become progressively worse and now it is painful to lift anything heavier than a cup of coffee. The pain is on the outside of my right elbow and is worse when I try to bend it or straighten it out. The bone now protrudes more than my left elbow that was not injured. There were no issues prior to the accident. The lady that hit me was going at least 60-65 mph. I was going about 20 mph.
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you had an accident at the rear end, this might have lead to injury to the elbow as well. Taking an x-ray should help provide more inputs to the matter. Usually due to weakness of the triceps muscles there is difficulty in lifting anything as the load bearing of the muscle does not allow for proper effort. Also, try doing triceps strengthening exercises as it will help to improve the strength in the muscle and provide torque to utilize the upper limb. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
