Pain In Elbow, Suffering From Stress. Is This Related To Age?

Hi there, just over the past few weeks I have started getting pains in my elbows. I am normally quite fit and do yoga every morning. I have recently had problems in my family and have suffered some stress . Wonder if it could be related, or perhaps it is just age related. I am female and am 64. Thanks for your help.

Hello
Elbow pain can not be stress related.
It can be age related or may related to your work like washing cloths.
Do u have any swelling in elbow?
Take a 5 day course of analgesic and muscle relaxant with a pantroparazole.
Take rest for 7 days.
If no problem thereafter then no worry but if persists then consult a orthopedician.
I find this answer helpful
