I've got bad everything, my elbows get bruised at the bottom of my forearm near the point of my elbow and the doctors tell me stop lifting for a while because my connective tissue is tearing a little bit and that is what's causing the bruising. So I said "hey doc get fvcked" ...he laughed and I said no I'm serious get fvcked, see ya. then I got some igf-1 and will be running that to strengthen the weak connective tissue.

If it is really bad pain or you see something you can really notice like my elbow(something visible) go to the doc, if not it sounds like tendenitis and if it is put some ice on it and train a little bit lighter. Tendenitis doesn't go away, your tendon will get inflamed and swollen and sometimes it won't it's annoying and will hurt a bit but that's all.

dont sleep with your arm up behind your head with you arm bent all the way someitmes that can aggravate the tendons

pain is a constant with anyone who trains heavy on elbows.

my elbows always hurt, it hurts like hell during and def after, but its something i can live with... it all depends on how severe the pain is.. theres a big diff between something thats messed up and it just gettin worn or old... all bodybuilders pro and am. will always say they have bad elbows. due to the wear and heavy reps... so its all up to u really, but if somethign is messed up in there, then dont use em have em fixed..
