The area in between my elbow and shoulder (upper arm) pains when I play badminton, however when I am at rest or at home the pain goes away almost completely. Why does it only pain when I play badminton? And the pain goes away later on ive been playing badminton and gymmimg for 2 years, never had previous pains or injuries ever .i usually never skip stretching, warmups and cooldowns. Im a 20y female any idea why this pain occurs ,this pain is lasting me around a week now.
