What's this injury called?

[V-Man]

I have this pain by the bone by the elbow. It happened a while back when doing triceps and now I can't train triceps very well.

Must be a strain but not sure what muscle that attaches there.

Depends on how much pain there is.Usually just take some Glucosamine with Chrondroiten, about 3 tabs.Maybe some MSM .Read the bottle.Take em, once or til goes away.
If its throbbing, don't do triceps for a few days or a week. Ice it.


Its also on how your doing the exercise and what amount of weight your using.
If elbow bends while straightening out the arm, get it checked ,for a rupture, muscle or tendon.


Did it pop?

Where is the pain exactly, try to be more specific.
A few years back I had a particle tear of the triceps tendon at the insertion point which could be what you have, mine was confirmed with ultrasound.

I would either way obviously avoid anything that causes pain, try contrast bathing, i.e. hot for 15 minutes cold for 15 minutes. Try and find a massage specialist who does cross friction massage as this is particularly good for tendon and connective tissues which usually always have crap blood supply.

I had a similar pain in both elbows- it was the start of tennis elbow for me....

Take care of this or it can nag for a long time

Is it on the side or right over the top of the bone?

Probably tendonitis

 

[dorian123]

get it checked out-don't train triceps until you do

if it's a partial tear you don't want to make it worse

Probably tendonitis
