I've recently picked up badminton again after a long break, and I've been noticing a bit of an issue. When I try to smash the shuttle hard, my lower bicep near the elbow starts to ache. I do warm-ups and stretch beforehand, but it still happens. The pain seems to drain my strength, making it hard to keep a grip on the racquet. It kind of radiates all the way down to my palm. If I take a break, the pain goes away without medicine, but it comes back as soon as I start hitting hard again. Interestingly, when I don't hit the shuttle hard, there's no pain at all. What might be causing this, and how can I prevent it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a repetitive strain or overuse injury, possibly involving the muscles or tendons near your elbow. This can happen when exerting forceful movements after a long break. It's important to focus on gradually increasing your strength and flexibility in that area, and consider incorporating rest periods to avoid overloading the muscles.
