Is there such a thing as Shopper's Elbow?

Sponsored post alert!

On the list of doctors I need to get myself around to seeing, I should probably add some some sort of joint pain specialist for my elbow. I don't know what I've done to it, but it's been hurting pretty steadily for about a month now. I'd suspect tennis elbow, except that I've never played tennis in my life, other than hitting balls around with my older sister one summer when I was about fourteen, and I kind of doubt this is a delayed injury from that. I do reckon, though, that it's some kind of strain or workout related injury, which I seem ever so much more prone to since I've gotten older. According to Gustafson Ortho's patient education page, it looks like the best thing I can do is just keep using it and keep building up strength in and around my joint. And maybe take some more painkillers in the meantime.
