Elbow pain.
ad
So I tweaked my elbow today at work. Pretty bad. Hurts more to extend my arm than it does to bend it. If I'm looking at the point I donate blood it's on the opposite outside part. Would rather not go to the doctor but I will if it doesn't get better. Anybody have any experience with this. Ice tonight. Will report back tomorrow if there is any swelling or redness. Thanks guys.

RustyhookerGuys below have great points. I broke both elbows at radial head. When you squeeze into fist, the muscles on top at the radius contract. Since the breaks, i can get lil flareups with any repeat grasping motions.
If the pain continues in the area im talking about ya might try some therapy. Reverse curls, reverse wrist curls...strengthen the weak link. I too prefer heat to get bloodflow to area. Ice to reduce swelling. Bad flareups of course a lil time off. Theres also those forearm bands for that tennis elbow flareup.
Yeah time off is a must rusty. Gonna take the weekend off. Just gonna get shit ready for the eventual snow flying.
Thousand times better today. Probably still going to rest over the weekend but should be 100 % by Monday to resume normal activities. Thanks all for the suggestions
If its a tendon there is no fast cure. Time heals those. Kinda tough to immobilize when we move everyday but minimizing stress on it is the best thing. Like most of the guys said...keep an eye on it then Doc visit. Also for me personally ice worked best. For some reason heat always made it worse. IMO. Good luck sir.
Apply Tiger Balm and wrap reasonably tightly. Works every time for me.
Tough one to call, I sometimes get " tennis elbow" and it is very annoying and I guess a bit painful and I work through it every time and it goes away but I can't say do that in case its something worse, if no better in no more than a week get checked by Dr and go from there. Good luck.
I'm surprised but also very happy no one suggested using NPP or deca lol. YOLO fucks.
Chances are you have an inflamed tendon in there keep hitting it with Alive and rest. By rest I mean don't lift anything with that extremity that causes pain or aggravation. Chances are the swelling will subside and you'll be back to it in no time.
Good luck
Definitely swollen. Not extreme pain but definitely noticable. Aleve and ice again today. Gonna take a few days to rest and see how it goes. Thanks for all the responses
Probably would not rush to run to a doc, would give it a good rest though!!!
If it's not swollen or red but just annoying pain, try wearing a Band-IT. They work pretty well, I've been wearing one off and on for years. Only place to get them is from a doctor or Amazon.
Rest, some aleve or ibuprofen, ice if needed. As most importantly lots of rest to recover.
Sounds like a tendon. Be careful...
Ibuprofen helps reduce swelling and with pain. Don't work it at all and ice helps too
hope you get better
HustleMuscleI use ice to bring out the swelling then treat with heat and rest , stretching it daily
DobermannRest rest rest.try both ice and hot.for me hot works better actually.i bought this staff its called biofreeze.helps
