Any of you ever dealt with Tennis elbow? My right elbow has been killing me for a month. Dr told me to wear an armband and it helps during the day, but my arm won't hold up to lifting again. He also said that a cortisone shot might help. Anybody here had one? Did it help?

It could possibly be stemming from some unnoticed forearm or tricep tightness or both. Get a lacrosse ball and and roll the shite out lf your exterior forearm and your tricep where it attaches to your elbow and it could help loosen everything up. Then do the same on inside of your forearm. Could be an easy fix or that cortisone shot may be in order. Do you stretch your forearms and triceps often?

Usually go light and warm up for a few sets first. I had lifted for 15 months without a layoff. I noticed the top of my forearm twitching for 3 or 4 days and then the elbow hurt like a mofo.

If it is tightness leading to it, it wont be an overnight fix. Youll have to constantly work it and loosen it. It didnt get there all of a sudden and 15 months straight is pretty intense so itll take some time to get ir back to normal.

The tennis ball will help release that excess myofascia tissue

Going through the same issues, hurt mine about 3 months ago, major pain subsided after 2 months, now I just have to take it really carefully with weights. To much and it re inflames
. Take it slow, stretch the muscles groups in your forearms, massage/ roll and wear the arm band.

Wear the above at work and at the gym while lifting, but make sure to do forearm stretches.

Ignore the pain and work through it like people advised me to do. Then when it progresses to a full tear, like mine did, you can enjoy 9 to 12 months of no lifting and pain from something as simple as opening a car door. Be careful.

The pork will be with you... Always.

My go to is to stretch the bicep. Pain in joints usually comes from something above being out of wack.
Also, take a shirt or a piece of foam insulation for like a pipe and twist them as if you're trying to wring out water. Those will help.

Take Aleve every day for 7 days and ice it 20 minutes on/ 20 minutes off as much as you can. I've had golfers elbow several times, if you don't get treatment it will just get worse. Stay away from upper body exercises for those 7 days.

Is there anything that you're doing that's new? Sleeping awkward? New exercise? Bad form on a certain exercise? Excessive curling?
About 2 years ago I had some brutal elbow inflammation and back squats would be almost impossible due to my elbow pain. Then it stopped after about 5 months of on and off. Then about 7 months later it came back. Then went away. Come to find out it was the way I was holding my sons' car seat in the crease of my elbow.
Do a mental check list and if ya can think of things that are new or different, eliminate them one by one until you find it.

Tennis or golfers elbow. Anti-inflammatory and the one exercise that will cure it in about a week- strengthen your grip. A cheap pair of those hand grips will do the trick. 2 sets of as many as you can do both arms twice a day. I had no confidence if would work but the first time I tried it when I got up to around the 60th squeeze I could feel it right where the pain was. In a couple days pain was reduced 80% and gone within a week.

Pretty sure the only way you are going to get rid of it completely is stepping away from those workouts that irritate it for an extended period. Aleve will help with inflammation, but if you keep irritating it, it won't go away. Better to take ~4 weeks off now than to end up being forced to take months off later.

Go see a PT and let him message it out. Also wear an arm band and let it rest.

According to the Good Book, you should saw your right arm off above the elbow.
"And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire." -Matthew 18:9
Don't hate me, I'm just the messenger.
