At an early age I made the mistake of going way too heavy on tricep extension movements, and would do the heavy tri extension holding db Dc stretches with 40 lbs- my elbows could take it-I have smaller tendons and ignore pain, until I had to take 14 months off upper body and then Ive tried everything, art therapy, which did help, and at one time I was able to get them almost fully better, then I did an ai and killed me joint so they got worse again and been a few years , tried everything, pt, friction massage, deep tissue -which made them worse, active release, prolotherapy injections. Close to 7-8 years of bad elbows
Ive finally gotten my arms back over 18 inches to where they were over ten years ago in 2004, but 25 lbs overhead press after 5-6 reps or so still hurts. Pressing doesnt hurt so much....im still doing the tens unit, fricton, deep tissue , pt therapy when I feel itll help the best.
any success stories overcoming that triceps tendon? (ive had golfers elbow-the tendon inserting into the bone underneath and art therapy helped it hugetime with fricton)
