IM new here and not no tiger woods I would rate myself as a intermediate beginner. Yesterday I was out playing golf and before we started I was at the driving range with my driver and after a couple hits I felt a sharp pain in my lower right arm elbow area and today my whole lower arm is black and blue swollen. Have no clue what has happened. And very frustrated with my drives, I cant seem to be constant with hitting the ball straight and was wondering if I can get some advice with my driver and clubs and what could have happened to my right arm area.

Thanks,

Well, I'm no doctor but you could have a wide range of issues, including a broken forearm.  See somebody if pain and swelling persist.

Sharp pain followed by swelling and black and blue = bad. Get to an urgent care clinic.

Post a video. There's lots of doctors on this site. Maybe @Ferguson can fix you up.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Go see a doctor, preferably an orthopaedist.  In the meanwhile; Ice it then put a compression wrap (i.e. Ace bandage) around it.  The acronym RICE, rest, ice, compression, elevation, helps relieve the swelling.  We can't speculate on what the injury is, but a good doctor will be able to tell.

Could be golfers elbow, i had this from gripping too hard. Gave me pain from just below the elbow joint right down to my hand and middle fingers. Definatley see a doctor as any sort of tendon/ligament damage isnt nice

Thank you all for the Drs advice but what about my swing?

It looks pretty good. :-P Start a My Swing thread and post some video. No one can really help without actually seeing what your doing in your swing now.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

@rayg1022 Sorry I left you hanging, I was on my phone when I posted so I couldn't really add more pointers and links. I was assuming someone else would hop in and fill in the blanks, unfortunately it looks like nobody did. Check out this thread: http://thesandtrap.com/t/38240/my-swing-video-threads-rules-please-read Nobody can really give any worthwhile advice without seeing your swing so I suggest you take some video. Be sure to read all the instructions carefully, if you don't get the correct angles when filming, swing analysis can be difficult. Once you have some decent video up I'm sure we can help you with your swing. Get that arm checked though, it sounds nasty.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Well update on the arm is I have torn bicep. Need to let it heel for 3 weeks on pain meds and ice. The bruising is the internal bleeding flowing were it can.

Last year, after playing very little for the previous 2 years, I played 6 out of 7 days straight.  I got a little bit of what felt like tendinitis in my right forearm, so I got one of those velcro wraps to wear.  After the first round wearing the wrap, my whole forearm arm turned black and blue like I'd been worked over with a hammer.  I think it had something to with the wrap, although I know it wasn't too tight because it even slipped down to my wrist on a couple of swings, but I'd never had anything like that bruising before.  Nor has it recurred.  Don't have any idea what really caused it, but it faded in about a week, just like any bruise would, and never really hurt that much, just a sort of dull ache that I didn't even notice unless it thought about it.  The tendinitis gradually healed too after I just quit playing for a couple of weeks to let the arm rest.

Thanks for letting us know.  I hope you recover quickly.
