Ive got it in both arms but theres no pain when i straighten my arm so i dont think its that bad, just aches all the time. had it 2 years, ive got 2 weeks off in november, would 2 weeks complete rest with stretches and ice heal it?
I was diagnosed with this condition about 2.5 years ago. Basically the doc told me take it easy and wear the band around my forearm. I wore the band for about 2 weeks when I lifted and noticed nothing. I took it easy for another two months and the pain slackened. I came up with a warm up where I would do 3 sets of 10 chinups supersetted with sets of very light cable curls and reverse cable curls. I stretched before during and after the warmup and I never felt pain. This warm up has became so automatic to me I catch myself doing it on leg days too.
About two months ago I decided to do a workout at home and started off with weighted chinups with no warmup. I felt a burning in my elbow and back came the tennis elbow. I now do about four sets of my warmup and stretch more and the tennis elbow barely bothers me. I never thought about wrist curls helping, I always did them because I messed up my wrists after an accident horseback. Wrist curls eventually ended my wrist pain which was debilitating at times. They probably helped my tennis elbow as well. I think I'll add them back into my workouts. Thank you for this article.
Hey crickets, what weight exercises do you do? i wanna start working out again but i dont wanna make it worse. im def gonna do the warm up u mentioned.
I got my self a sleeve about a month ago and it helps a lot. I only use it on shoulders and chest days. Pressing movements kill my elbows. I can't even throw a baseball more than a few times.
