Horriable elbow pain - hurting my prep

[big in vegas]

it's tendinitis. go get a cortisone shot

Worst advice ever! That'll only mask the pain and then once it wears off it'll be worse than ever. I did this with my shoulder and it turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I'll never take another cortisone shot as long as I'm alive

Ill get the afultops first, before doing any type of cortisone shots...I hate those things...I started MSM and honestly its made a difference already today...less swellon, and less pain...I take 9000mg per day, divided up into 3 x 3000mg doses...Morn, noon, and nite

shoulders and elbows are different. I had a cortisone shot for severe tendinitis 15 years ago and never had pain since. You probably had a tear in your shoulder , cortisone would not help that

No tear, just didn't have any pain and trained as if the pain wasn't there and it was worse than ever

That may help for a while and it can get expensive, i posted a section on personal physical therapy above try those methods too and seee if it gets better. sometimes the aflutops help while your taking them but can only help if you keep using it until the injury actuially fully heals. good luck

fish oils, rest, ice, lighten the weight, NO ISOLATION movements. MSM can help but see if you can get some haluronic acid. DO NOT GET A CORTISONE INJECTION.

Good to hear you're at least making progress, as bad as it hurts to ice your elbows, that'll help out too. It sucks that you're having to fight this kinda shit during prep, but every journey has a rocky course I guess
