I've been doing SLs for a little over 4 months now. Around a month ago, I began having some pain in my elbow. Eventually it got bad enough that I decided to see someone about it. I saw a sports therapist yesterday and he said that it was medial epicondylitis, aka golfer's elbow.
I'm not sure how or why I wound up with it. I suspect it's likely I have bad form on one or more of the lifts. I intend to record myself and post it sometime in the future for a critique.
Ice, advil, and rest was the recommended remedy. Ideally I'd like to keep up on as many of the lifts as possible. I tried the lifts with an empty bar and it seems like I could still do the squats without a problem, but all the other lifts wound up twinging the elbow. This is with a wrap and/or strap on the elbow.
I've pretty much resigned myself to just cardio and squats for the next few weeks but I figured I'd check to see if anyone else ever had this problem and if they figured out either a remedy to continue the lifts or alternate lifts that could be done temporarily.
