tricep tendon pain

[danlickalotapus]

my tricep tendons have become a little sore last week , im pretty shore its because of going as low as i can with skull crunches , and overhead single dumbell working my triceps , iv put it down to tendonitis , iv stopped doing back and arm workouts , the pain is not that bad but id like to catch the problem early ,
my question is should i workout my tris lightly or not at all , how long should recovery take ? has any one else experienced this and how did recovery go?

I have exp the same as have many others...Imo u should skip a tri workout, then when u do your next tri work out go light, see if that helps, also make sure your taking your joint suppliments.

iv just started glucosamine and fish oil , any others to recommend? iv read in some other threads about rice , do you think this would be helpful to my situation?

More stretching before working out and stick to light weights the next couple of workouts.
