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.
