What Causes Elbow Pain When Placing On Hard Surface?
Whenever I try to rest my elbow down on a hard surface(table, desk, etc.) it always hurts. I can feel the vein that clearly causes a very sharp pain whenever I do so. What can be done to stop this from happening? I will go to the doctor, hopefully my appointment can be scheduled soon.

Hi there.
It is possible you have tennis elbow which causes pain on the outer aspect of the elbow on extending the hand. I suggest you use Tennis elbow splint. Take Tablet Ibuprofen 200mg twice a day for relief. I suggest you get examined by an Orthopaedic surgeon to confirm this diagnosis and if needed steroid or PRP injections may help.
