After clipping your coupons, getting in and out of the store efficiently, and loading the car with bags, you’re feeling a sense of accomplishment. You’re ready to unpack the car, unload your haul, and get moving on the rest of your day. However, your elbow pain has different plans. You felt some tweaks of pain while grocery shopping, but now it’s really become problematic as you’re trying to carry the heavy bags into your house. On your final trip, your elbow gives out and your goods tumble all over the floor. This is when you decide it’s time to contact an elbow treatment specialist to find out why your elbow pain is getting worse.
