I usually play basketball at school everyday, and today when shooting I suddenly felt pain on my inner elbow, I can't extend it properly like the other elbow. I am somewhat worried, I have never had a problem like these, I am a health active teenager. 

Please help really worried, thanks.

    I would ice the inner elbow right away for at least 10 minutes and then repeat.  If you still can't extend it in 2-3 days go and have it looked at by your doctor, possibly an xray.  It's probably just a simple strain.  Don't worryl

      I believe if this is not a sprain that this sounds like golfers elbow.  Rest and ice/heat therapy should help.  Then if no improvement seek help from doctors.  Don't worry.  All treatable.

    Sounds alot like golfers elbow.  Pain on the inside of your elbow when you grip or squeeze anything.  Go see your Doctor before you can't dribble a basketball at all.
