Lately, I have been having a feeling that I have strained something in my right elbow, aroung the area of the "funny" bone. it really flares up when I straighten my arm out. Also, when I apply pressure in certain directions or with certain finguresof my right hand I have sharp pain about mid way down my right forearm on the out side. Any help would be appreciated, as I am now icing a couple times a day and taking a break from lifting and starting to go 100% cardio.

Sounds like classic tendonitis symptoms, but can't diagnose over the internet. Have it checked out and if that's the case, rest will take time in healing it.

Glucosamine is supposed to help with joint pain, I just started taking it myself a few days ago. I've heard it takes a few weeks to start seeing results though.
