Tennis Elbow

[Ginger84]

Finally got rid of the pain in my right elbow now it's in my left and sucks... I've also been noticing a increase in joint paint also. Eh

I had TERRIBLE tennis elbow a couple years back. Thank God for the strap that goes around your forarm. It really works and helped me.

I also had tennis elbow last year. It took me 4 months to come back in the gym. Sometimes I feel some pain even now, after a year.

This, ^^^ mine was what they call golf elbow but that dam strap made all the difference.

Have you tried using a brace like this? Its just called a tennis elbow brace. You can buy them at your local wal-mart and most drug stores. These braces help a lot with reducing pain while doing activity and exercising.

you can still do biceps workout by bypassing your elbow muscles. simply use wrist bands. see pic.

i've had both tennis and golfer's elbow at various times. the trick is to nip it in the bud. if it sets in strong, you're going to have to rest (ugh!).

tricks i've learned for nipping it in the bud:

1. make SURE joint is warmed up before lifting (light reps of intended exercise for example)
2. compression (the sleeves are ok, but there are special bands for tendonitis) - compression spreads the stress out around the inflammed area.
3. change exercises - particularly for biceps and back, some grips really irritate the elbow.
4. anti-inflammatories - ice after workout, and lots of vitamin i (ibuprofen) up to 2400 mg/day is safe for most men (if you have an irritable stomach, consult dr).

good luck with it.
