Elbow Pain

[Rockape]

For the last couple of months I've been suffering some discomfort in my elbow. Its something that has bothered whilst weight training in the past but after a couple of days rest it always went away.

However this time I've had pain for a couple of months. It only causes an issue at the start of a session in the gym and usually eases off after a good warmup. I can't manage any tricep isolation work because of the strain it puts on the joint.

The pain seems to be on the boney bit on the elbow.

I've rested it for a couple of weeks but without any differance.

Any tips or advice for treatment or specific excersies to assist would be great.

Stopped doing pressups for this reason. Thought it was tennis elbow (which I've also had, horribly), but recently I'm getting it in both elbows. Bring on elbow replacements!

Sounds like tennis or golfers' elbow. The advice I was given was to find the really tender spot and massege there - hard, to the point of pain. Just do it once, right before bed. Seemed to help me.

If it feels like it's in the joint you've probably strained a tendon/ligaments. This can take a long time to heal, so try not to make it any worse. General advise I've seen is back off the training to rest it and ibuprofen.
<I'm not a doctor> but that's what it sounds like to me.

Try taking a Glucosamine suplate tablet once a day. I used to get hellish inner elbow pain but only on tricep excercises, its worked for me. I get big tubs of 240 odd tablets from tescos.

How many tablets must you take before you feel the benefits?

Could it be Cubital Tunnel Syndrome?
