If you're suffering from elbow pain, it can be very tempting to hope that it will go away on its own and that time will heal. In many cases, minor elbow pain will heal with a little bit of time, keeping active and temporarily avoiding heavy work or lifting.

However, in some cases that minor ache doesn't settle quickly, but in fact worsens or persists. Pain around the elbow starts to spread into your forearm and sometimes even into your fingers. Sometimes pins & needles affect your fingers and you notice you can't even drink a cup of tea without being in pain.
