Pain on exertion
by Kiwi01, Jun 14, 2000 12:00AM
Doctor,
When I walk I get pain in my bicep and near the elbow. When I stop walking it will go away. My doctor doesn't think it is angina but tendonitis or something like that and suggests we watch it for awhile and try anti-inflammatory meds. What might be causing this pain that comes and goes with exertion if it is not angina? Should I be comfortable with my doctor's explanation? Thank you very much for your help.
