I've been noticing latley that when I really grip something with me right hand, I get a sharp pain on the outside of my elbow. It really hurt today while doing hammers. Anyone else get anything like this? If I squeeze my hand into a fist I can really feel it. It's been nagging me for a while and now it's getting more noticable. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Oh by the way I hate going to the doctors, unless it's a last resort.

I have it in both elbows but mines on the inside not the outside.Doc says I got the opposite of tennis elbow.They did microsurgery twice.It helped.I take lots of glucosamine,ibuprofen, and stay away from exercises that cause too much discomfort there.

Thanks man, do you think ice will help at all, or heat?

i'd maybe ice after a workout, get it checked out by a doc cause if something in there is fucked up your only gonna make it worse in the long run and lose out on more training. . . take it light till then

I hate going light worse than going to the doctors, but I know your right, just hate hearing it.

Sounds like tendonitis. I have it in my right arm. The only cure is rest, for a long time. You can ease the pain by getting one of those elastic straps to wrap around your forearm, just below the elbow joint. That will help. The ice heat combo after a workout is probably a good idea too.

You mean those thingys guys wear half way up their forearm? The tennis elbow thing?

I dunno if this will even appy, but I read somewhere that front delt strains will occasionally manifest themselves as lower bicep or elbow pains.....I used to have these areas hurt like a motherfucker while bench pressing until I really started warming up my shoulders and rotator cuffs before working chest

I notice it most when I make a tight fist, a little when locking my arm straight out. Maybe it's related, I'll have to have it checked out. Thanks guys.
