The ibuprofen advice is good. Also, without reading the whole thread, naproxin sodium is also an anti inflamatory that does the same thing as ibuprofen. It's a good idea to cycle from one to the other every couple weeks to keep from getting aclimated to it. Take it like you would an antibiotic. Every 4 to 6 hours or 4 times a day. Your taking it as an anti inflamatory not as asprin. So you want to keep it in your system at all times during the treatment period.

Also, going past a 90 degree angle at the elbow will keep it irritated. Try to learn not to go past a 90 in your workout. It's not an easy thing to learn. That goes for every joint. After a certain age, you shouldn't go past a 90 because it has a shearing force on the joint.

It will take awhile. Good luck.

Bone Spurs, I have had them twice over the past 10 years. Surgery both times. You can live with them if you have a desk job and don't lift. If you are going to workout you will need them removed.

Oh yeah. You're in your weight lifting prime right now. You lose the reflexes and agility as you get older, but those muscles keep getting stronger. Youth doesn't matter. I injured my elbow the same way when I was 18, so it can happen at anytime.

Time off. Ibuprofen. Try lighter exercises again in 2 weeks. If it hasn't subsided, go to the doctor.

Anyone else have this pain? If so, what did you do to fix it?

I feel the same pain doing the same thing. I also feel it when doing the bicep curls, hurts like the dickens during the routine but feels somewhat o.k. by next day. Company doctor suspects tendon that runs down the side of the forearm from the elbow down to the wrist...or something like that. I was told to go for an MRI, I haven't....been 6 months. I just live with it for now.

As someone mentioned above, try out one of these (or two if you have pain in both elbows). I just bought one about a month ago due to really sharp pain in my left forearm when doing curls and moderate pain in my elbow when doing tricep pulls/extensions. Has worked out quite well in reducing the pain during the workout, then I ice both forearm/elbow for about 15 mins each after the workout. Been pain free for a month now.

Stop seasoning your weights. There's really no point to it.

when I had tendonitis I could literally hear my tendons flex when I would move my wrist up and down. Sounded like and old door creaking and the feel of it was like rocks moving around under my skin. Hurt for about a month. I took Aleive, Advil, but the doc offered me drugs that I declined.

Try taking glucosamine.

They say Cissus Quadrangularis is supposed to be much better.

That's what my doctor keep telling me. When to another doc and immediately he said bone spurs. X-Rayed, bingo.
