<p>If the pain is on the outside of your elbow you might be getting ‘tennis elbow’ which can come from sudden change in exercise or weightlifting, even pull ups. Here is a link to info on this and exercises to help: [McKinley</a> Health Center - Tennis Elbow - University of Illinois](<a href=“http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/Handouts/tennis_elbow/tennis_elbow.html]McKinley”>http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/Handouts/tennis_elbow/tennis_elbow.html)</p>
<p>Definitely ice after each exercise session. Do you have access to a supported pull up machine…the kind at gyms that you step on and slowly decrease the resistance until you can do the pull up on your own? That might help you continue to workout without hurting your elbow. </p>
<p>Another problem might be your grip width. You might need to try different widths to find which strains your elbow less.</p>
