Since I began lifting again in 2008, I have had regular problems with my elbows. The most I seem to be able to go without issues is 3-4 months. Then I have to begin working around one or both elbows. Most of my problems are with golfers elbow, but right now I have golfers in my right and tennis starting in my left.
I'm just wondering what others do for prevention and recovery. I'm open to suggestions. Right now, when I feel golfers coming on I lay off of pulling movements for about 3 weeks or so.
Tennis elbow is a condition that causes pain around the outside of the elbow. It's clinically known as lateral epicondylitis. It often occurs after strenuous overuse of the muscles and tendons of the forearm, near the elbow joint.
Golfer's elbow is a condition that causes pain around the inside of the elbow. It's clinically known as medial epicondylitis. The pain is caused by damage to the tendons that bend the wrist toward the palm.
