Possible tennis elbow from flying? You know, right hand on the yolk, (with lots of forearm usage) and left hand on the throttle? Or vice verse for you captain types? I may be reaching here, but I MUST figure out what is causing this pain!
I know a lot of pilots had arm/shoulder issues with kit bags. I’ve heard of a few injuries when placing the bag over the seat into its storage area.
