That’s a difficult question to answer with having first doing an exam of your arm, because it depends on the actual location of the pain. But I agree that 6 months is a long time. Could be that the injury never fully healed or you’re doing things now that continue to aggravate the injury. I recommend that you follow up with a primary care physician to have it evaluated.
