Hello @Mshelle72 Thank you for joining the Online Community today, it's great to meet you. I understand you are awaiting x-ray results & physio appointment after GP diagnosed golfers’ elbow approx 3 months ago and now you are experiencing shoulder pain, swollen & painful knuckles, weakness in both arms. Gentle exercises in the morning can help to relieve stiffness. You may find it helpful to read more about getting a diagnosis and checking symptoms against the information about rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
