If it’s not on it’s own, it’ll become one after it takes you out at the ankles one of these days. | ||

@IgnE ahh gotcha, that makes sense. Yeah I guess I'll try to keep at it conservatively and talk to a doctor/PT if anything seems off. | ||

It's killing me that only tennis elbow comes up, but I'm so sure it's not that. It's like if you keep your arm straight, there's are two bumps: tip of elbow, and another kind of bump (two small bumps, where bones connect maybe??) on your thumb side, and the tendon is between those two bony parts. Would help so much if anybody knew what that was and how to fix it >< | ||

Does anybody have any idea what this is? generally the lateral epicondyle is stretched the most with your arm straight... not bent. you should probably realize this from the recommended tennis elbow stretches. the medial epicondyle gets its biggest stretch with the elbows bent 90 degrees. Both the lateral and medial epicondyles offer the least amount of leverage when your wrists are bent. When people's wrists are bent 90 degree and they perform some twisting or pulling motion ... around objects.. like a mechanic working on a car engine in tight places... this is when you put your lateral and medial epicondyles are biggest risk to injury. keep your wrists unbent as much as you can. If you pay attention carefully to your body you can even feel the lack of leverage your epicondyles have when you bend your wrist 90 degrees and you try to use your strength. Every degree of bend in your wrist takes away a little bit of leverage and puts more pressure on your epicondyles. Try to keep your wrists straight.

Orthopaedic Surgeon. #2. General Physician MD #3. Physiotherapist. avoid chiropractors unless one of the 3 on the list i provided is overseeing your progress and recommends a chiropractor. | ||

 I guess it wasn't tennis elbow after all, since they didn't recommend any stretches (vs tennis elbow seems to have a ton of different possible stretches).They couldn't really come up with a name for the pathology or anything either, though. I think it's actually just part of my triceps tendon, but doesn't matter, will just rest it >.< | ||

I can see in pictures and feel the stretch at the lateral epicondyle part or whatever. However, the issue feels like it's this band between the tip of my elbow and the lateral epicondyle itself. I feel it especially keenly when my hands are palm down on my desk/keycard and my elbow is bent, and I flex my wrist down. Does anybody have any idea what this is?

Would help so much if anybody knew what that was and how to fix it >< There's a fuck ton of muscles around your elbow joint and a lot of them act differently based on whether your wrist/shoulder/elbow are in flexion or extension. And sometimes it's just compensating for something up or down stream. Either do a lot of research and self testing or find someone knowledgeable. Also, rest rarely fixes things, and even more rarely fixes them permanently. Rehab is the best medicine for nearly every problem. Find the root cause and address it properly. | ||

For me its only when doing the excersize and stops right after and is a matter of the joints/tendons being stressed. Not sure what you did to provoke it but usually high reps of flexion/extension of the elbow will make it feel better. If it hurts all the time then you probably have stressed it too much over time | ||

In general will try to be mindful of what I'm doing to potentially cause this, and will def find an actual, legitimate orthopaedic surgeon/doctor if necessary. Thanks guys! | ||

A Doctor who is the head of a sports medicine clinic is generally excellent for those that want to be a "healthy happy athlete". He's not going to find an orthopedic surgeon without a referral in the US at least. Even if he did, a surgeon is just going to tell him "yeah sure if it's bad enough i'll operate lol meantime find a PT" Best route to go is to research physical therapists in your area, find one who works with younger populations, ideally with athletes, and get your primary care doc to write you a referral there. Your other points though are completely valid. | ||

I've considered picking up a set a bunch of times though, especially because my current gym only has one set of 2.5's in the entire place atm. Let me know if you find any decent deals. | ||

I'll let you know how it turns out. As it stands it seems you get more weight pairs for less total cost than anywhere else I've seen. Weights arrived within a week as described at a significant discount to anywhere else I saw online, FYI. | ||
