?????TENNIS ELBOW????????

[Ironhorse]

I think I have a bad case of this. Its been bothering me to the point that I have stopped training. I could work through the pain but I'm concerned about further injury. Has anyone suffered from this?

I currently have "golfer's elbow", which is the inside forearm near the elbow, as opposed to the outside as in "tennis elbow". I did it while doing very heavy back rows back in November. I went to the ortho that did my ACL surgery, and after he x-rayed it to make sure I hadn't pulled off a small piece of bone off (I hadn't), he then told me I had a partial tear and the only way for it to improve was to give it time. He told me to ice it down and take anti-inflammatories if I want to work it, but he told me it will just delay healing if I try to work through it. So I bit the bullet and stopped ALL upper body training for the last two months. I was doing legs three times a week instead, and I have to say my legs are now in awesome shape, but my upper body looks shitty, with my arms suffering the most. Last week I started easing into upper body workouts == chest, triceps, and shoulders are fine, but I have to be ginger with back exercises (certain hand positions on the rows aggravate my forearm). The biceps are the hardest to train, so per my doc I am using the lightest weight possible, and if there is no real pain after the workout, I bump up the weight for next time. But it is a slow process, and I suggest just taking time off now, rather than trying to get through it for months and then having to take the time off anyway. Best of luck to you.

I very rarely tell patients to lay off completely as most times it is unwarranted. However, lateral epicondylitis is one of those exceptions where it is impossible to continue to do activity that aggravates it and heal at the same time. Standard protocol is to lay off until you have had no pain with normal daily activities for 1 week. At that point you can begin isotonic strengthening of the forearm musculature slowly progressing back to normal lifting. Also, the outcomes of those who have had surgery is horrendus, so I would not even consider having it surgically repaired.
