    I think i figured out whats causing the pain ... im pretty sure i have golfers elbow on both hands. Its worse on the left arm but now the right one is hurting also from same place. I work as a scaffold installer so i carry and lift long and heavy shit in awkward positions etc all day and from that the forearms get alot work and elbow tendon overuse it seems. I have not even heard of golfers elbow before tbh.. from what i read i must massage inner forearms, stretch and do wrist curls. Anyone had the golfers elbow?

    I have not but would recommend icing the elbows after work...or after the rehab routine you mentioned.

    Do a YouTube for "voodoo floss"..... preferably one by Kelly Starrett. Did wonders for me for both golfer's and tennis elbow. It's not an instant cure, but it it relieved pain and will allow you to train with lighter weight until the inflammation is gone.

    You got it right in your edit. It's just for short compression therapy sessions. It really has helped me.

    Showed my brother a youtube video on vodoo flossing and he just ordered some bands on Amazon. Thenk you for the advice. He has been doing finger extension exercises with a rubber webbing at the recommendation of a friend of his that does manual labor.

    I told him to look for Rogue bands but he couldn't find them with the search on Amazon. Got another brand. I assume off brands are adequate?

    Should be. There was a WOD brand that was decent, just rinse them off well. The powder that was on them is a little irritating.
