I'm 20 years old and have been weight lifting for approximately 2 years now. And 6 or so months ago i started getting a uncomfortable pain on the outside of my elbow, where the bursa is located. On top of that, the inside of the elbow was swollen (palms facing up), and there was a terrible grinding sensation when i held my arm in certain positions and extended it. The pain got worse and worse, so i took about 6 or so months off lifting, and the pain seemed to go away. Except for the annoying grinding which is still there. So i went to the doc, told him the situation and said my arm was grinding and a bit swollen, and i wanted an x-ray. I got the x-ray done, and nothing showed up, and the doc said he couldn't do anything for me, so i figured the grinding wasn't a big deal and something i'd just have to live with. But i recently got back into lifting, and i had a 20 minute warmup and stretch routine, and was doing a full body superset routine afterwards with light weight. I did that for a month to slowly get back into it. Then 2 weeks ago i got back into my normal routine of 2 muscle groups per session, 4 days a week and beginning to up my weight. And the pain is starting to come back! I have proper form and i'm definately not overtraining. So i need help diagnosing what the problem might be??

Thanks for the help!
