Golfers Elbow

Anyone else have this? What the FUCK am I supposed to do, supposedly this can take months to recover. I can barely lift a glass of water.

Stop complaining and let it heal. Then start lifting again with proper technique.

Fuck I was doing so well. I had proper form and was increasing the weight by 5 pounds every other day. Guess my body just couldn’t keep up with that pace. The fact that I will lose all of my gains is seriously sapping my will to live.

Well, sorry to hear that. No one said it's going to be easy.

I think you have fappers elbow

It only took me a few days desu. Do the stretches

This shit happened to me. Most frustrating injury ever. My advice is to try to keep your gains in other parts of your body. You can still try to keep your abs, legs, and cardiovascular system though your arms are pretty much fucked. When I started lifting again I was hyper cautious and slow paced to prevent another injury like that again.

Super annoying this happened to me during tennis season and it took months to heal

I had this for the better part of a year from bouldering and training one arm pull-ups until my elbow gave in and died. The only thing that worked for me is lots of deep tissue massaging of the elbow flexors with a lacrosse ball, introducing lightly stressful exercise to re-inflame the elbow upon reaching a recovery plateau and NOT going overboard with the latter. Also wrist flexor/extensor stretching helped.

This is a VERY common injury in the rock climbing world, so that's where all the best literature is on the subject IMO. There is really good collection of information on Reddit somewhere, possibly the r/climbharder sub. Best of luck my friend and remember - tendons are avascular and will not recover merely through rest; this means regular stimulation of blood flow through peripheral regions such as the forearm extensors/flexors will be your bread and butter!

You need dumbbells and to work out your forearms. Wrist curls, reverse wrist curls and rotations. All slow and with baby weight. This fixes both types of elbow shit.

This. If you do the stretches, eat right, and are somewhat young you could be good in a few weeks. I doubt you truly fucked them up.

Following retarded CIA nigger advice like this is what caused my tennis elbow to last almost 1 year instead of 5 months. Be warned OP

Fuck I don’t know who to believe. I want to start lifting again as soon as possible but I also don’t want a 6 month injury to become a permanent one. I was starting to look pretty aesthetic it’s gonna be weird for all of my friends and coworkers to see me regress to skinny fat.

Well, if it's really golfer's elbow you won't be able to lift for a long time. Doesn't really matter what we tell you. Deal with it and don't give up.

I had tennis elbow and I couldn’t open a door without pain
Foam roll your forearms until it gets visibly red then do your wrist stretches right after. I use the green flexbar for the wrist stretching. It helps with tendon strengthening, but you can look up free alternatives. Do this every morning and night
Take pain killers but not too much or it affects gains. Biofreeze your forearms too. This is how I healed mines almost completely. I could of been fully but I didn’t want to stop lifting.
But as of now since you can’t even pick up a glass of water, take a deload week MINIMUM. You can still lift but not as hard as you use to. Wait a while before goung back to heavy lifting.
Work on your forearms because that where the problem stems from. Go back to lifting SLOWLY. Maintain your weight and get your protein for minimal muscle loss. Trust me I know the feel, I got genuinely depressed because of how far I’ve come just to lose my gains after consistently going to the gym for 3 months.
I’m 5 months in now and have gotten stronger despite the injury. I foam roll and do the stretches almost every day and have only very minor elbow pain

Injuries are so terrifying to me, something you have tried to avoid for months destroys everything you worked for unexpectly, what shit

>proper technique
>implying the overwhelming majority of cases arent caused by over use

I usually warm up with some dumbbells and ease into my workout but today I went straight to the barbell and felt something in my elbow while pressing
Did the rest of my workout without problems and didn't feel any pain with any other movements
Anyone have an idea what's up with it?

>tendons are avascular and will not recover merely through rest
seconded

Forgot to add
Fishoil and glucosamine are helpful

I had golfers elbow for 8 months, kept coming back every time I went to the gym, good luck bud
