text: If you feel a 'sharp' pain in the elbow area, then you might have a problem....If it's just a dull pain try a new exercise. If you are right handed, lay down on your left side. Place right arm, from shoulder to elbow, down your side. Bend your right elbow at 90 degrees (straight out in front of your body). With palm down, pull up a dumbell (any weight that you can do reps with) til it is straight up, then slowly lower the weight and repeat. Pitchers started using this exercise in the late 1990's. It works part of the elbow and shoulder muscles that other exercises don't get to......Again, if there is a sharp pain, go to a sports therapist.
