Elbow pain and weakness

Sounds like a compressed nerve. Don't ice it unless the pain is severe, as it does not help recovery. Don't aggravate or stretch the arm for 3 weeks, if it is back to normal by then, start slowly back to the routine.

Thanks bra. Any meds I could take or should avoid?

No use icing an injury unless you've just injured it (ie within the past 2 hours). As its been more than a week, ice won't do shit.

Dial down the weight on your lifts and take it easy on your elbow. Mobility exercises should be your focus right now.

Lay down on the ground face down and extend your arm so your hand is above your head, palm down. Rotate your arm around until your hand is by your hip palm up, turning your hand around half way through.

Also, standing with your back against a wall, do that "landed it" pose gymnasts do at the Olympics. Keeping your forearms and shoulders against the wall, bring your elbows down to your hips gently.

Both of these exercises should help. Also, avoid hard rolling for a while. If you want a challenge, tuck your injured arm into your gi, or wrap it next to your torso if doing no gi. Try rolling with 1 arm for a while. Intentional handicaps will really improve your game if you play with them from time to time (ie the ankles together, don't use hands, blindfolded)

Hope this helps op
