Hello and welcome to HCM,
Soreness in elbow radiating to upper forearm can be due to nerve related disorder.
Pain on extending the arm, inability to lift objects,pain on touching the elbow are all suggestive of involvement of nerve.
Compression, irritation, inflammation of nerve can lead to Pain, tingling sensation, altered sensation, etc.
I suggest you to consult your healthcare provider for clinical assessment, investigations and thus management.
Thanks and take care
