Golfer's Elbow

>>42185309
suffering from both elbow and wrist tendonitis atm. stopped all lifting, it's been 3 weeks, the swelling is almost completely gone, i do light upperbody stretches and some resistance band pullaparts.

didnt actually go to a doc for 15 days then said fuk it and went. used ice, compression on wrist, and ibuprofen. upped my vit d intake.

doc said all the shit i did definitely helped, and gave me a gel to use for 7-10 days; said it should almost surely be better in this time period. also said tendons take a minimum of 3 weeks to heal, so ya.

i'll use this gel (contains 5% etofenamate if u want to google) for 7 days, then start with very very light exercises (5lb dumbbells)

fuck, i wish i lived in the us instead of southeastern european shithole

is there a way to order it if you're not murican

not sure buddy, look on ebay. basically you just twist on the thing and it provides resistance. maybe you could use a towel or something to do the same function

How often did you use this? Im so over my on and off elbow pain that ill try anything at this point.

Try some rotation dynamic stretching. That helped me out, and also check your form on some workouts. I started getting it last week on squats and turns out I was pushing the weights up with my arms unintentionally. Also when I would get under the bar or stepped off after the squats I had my arms in a weird position and it would hurt. Dynamic stretching and form checked helped a lot.

like a few times per day for 2 weeks and I'm cured. order it immediately

Try wish, AliExpress, or eBay. Might not be the same brand, but could be just as good and most of them shop fom China so you'd get it fast and maybe even cheaper.

thanks guys

Okay, Just looking for opinions at this point, ive been on a cut and I clearly need to stop lifting for a while, should I stop cutting while i work on rehabbing and what not? How did you exercise while you couldn't lift?

>>42185651
i just did legs and abs a couple times per week. pulling movements hurt the worst so I just didn't hit upper body for 2 months.

just think of it this way, you can either take 3 weeks off max or permanently injure your tendons. I'd stop cutting and eat at maintenance.

How bad was yours? whenever mine flares up i never get the loss of grip strength most people talk about, and its never like incredibly painful, its just very uncomfortable and i can tell something is wrong. Also lots of tingling and numbness.

>>42185439
No offense but i'm a little wary of taking the advice of an internet stranger to buy something, is there something special about this bar that I wouldn't be able to just use any other ordinary looking short bar?

Not him. but the bar is a tough flexible foam. So you cant just use a metal bar as it doesn't bend. Also it has great reviews on amazon so for like 13 dollars it seems worth a shot, im going to try it

suffered it in my right arm for a month or so few years ago. I still worked my right arm but that one month made my left arm stronger for the longest time despite being right dominant. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

This video helped me, also for rehab i use the same bent wrist grip, but for deadlifts. It helps to work the wrist flexors, this increases blood flow to the tendon speeding up the healing process.

I tore both my UCL and LCL when i was 14. went to a surgeon and he wouldn't give me tommy john so i know that at any point these tendons could give out. I couldn't do anything with that arm for over a year and i was 14-15 for context. So even if youre young it fucks your shit up. Also i was a pitcher which factors in a lot.

stay weak buddy

I ordered this at Amazon:
https://www.amazon.de/Atheletic-Compression-Tendinitis-Weightlifting-Arthritis/dp/B01J71JQVQ/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1500397404&sr=8-17-spons&keywords=golfers+elbow&psc=1

I hope it will help me to do bench pressing, which is a little painful at the moment. Will skip back day for a while, though. Therefore push my legs much harder.
