Oh yeah, i did, it might be happening due to another form of stress on the arm, for me it was dodgeball.
My advice, stop yoyoing for a few days, i know it really stinks, but it will be worth it!

I’m right handed, and I’ve recently been trying to learn left handed throwing. I tried for like 2 minutes and my left arm started to hurt really badly. It’s a completely normal part of the hobby that is yoyoing.
