Elbow Problem......

[Swimmer]

Larry sounds like bursitus. Happens all of a sudden. Something gets dislodged a little and rubs up against something else. Cortesone shot might disolve it. If it truly isn't injured, which you'll find out at the docs workign it out doing stuff will make it go away. Got it in my shoulder about 15 years ago. Didn't go away until I spent three days strapping a room in my celler that should have only taken four hours. Either way I hope its minor.

Is it right in your elbow joint or is it feel like it is in the muscle on outside edge of your tricep? Could be tennis elbow. I had it a bunch of years ago from swinging a 32 oz estwing. It went away after wearing a pressure band for a month or so.

thought I was going to get surgery this fall.. I went back and got mri'd.. both elbows on me know, I've hyperextended them so many times over the years, lifting cases over my head, stacking beer and booze, plus running the two wheeler down stairs loaded with cases, I've frigged up both of mine.. anyway, now he wants to wait till they are worse... WTF... I think I'm gonna try and get a referral to the ortho my son had up in Boston..friggin cape hack docs.....

I had that too. In my case it happened after years of casting 11-1/2' glass spinning rods with the reel taped high on the butt. It lasted over a year. I saw both orthopedists and a chiro. The chiro made it worse Compression bands helped make it bearable to fish, icing it afterwards helped, but nothing cured it entirely except resting it completely for a few months.

you need rest! and plenty of it for that elbo to heal.
REST =NOT USING IT.

advil is THE DRUG IBUPROPHEN which is what MOTRIN is too
4 200 milligram advils = 1 motrin (IF THEY'RE 800'S)

motrin or advil helps to reduce any swelling
and helps with pain...too but it only works
WELL if you take it regularly...and not sporadically
where as ALIEVE is really NAPROXIN a pain killer
that works hard and fast.... prolly what Uncle Matt
should use for over doing it... great for the joints.
i use both... daily ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
last spring: (my rototiller was still in the shop)
i stupidly used my right arm like a short...super hoe when
starting my garden and between that and the construction
i was doing "combined" i did the same thing bigfish...
you go to lift a cup of coffee and OW! that hurts...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
i had to stop doing the HEAVY...repetitious stuff altogether
and now 8 months later (without any surgery)
it's finally healed.... I HOPE YOU........
