Anyone ever have this happen to them? It's pretty painful, restricts me from working out or using my right arm (to even type right now is painful.)

Initially thought it to be tennis elbow, however it's been diagnosed now by my chiro as possible pulled tendons/muscles in my forearm.

Frustrated, please help or advise as to how long healing process/timeframe would be?

It's going on week 6 now. I'm getting a EMG done today (Electromyogram)I'm thinking there may be nerve damage since it's been going on for such a long time now?

We'll see...

Thanks Mutt.
