Hell of a bad week for a few reasons. Some work, others a bit more intangible and out of my control at this point. Good to blow off some steam in the weight room even if it wasn't a stellar session.

Justin Matney Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Trying to find a solution to this golfers elbow. Been hitting it more often with the armaid, and it seems to be working finally. Right arm starting to feel more like the left--that godawful knot is slowly going away. Really working on the triceps lately and I think that's been key. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Matney Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 I hate to jinx myself, but I'm starting to feel some significant relief from this golfers elbow after a solid year of increasing pain. I was honestly starting to think it wouldn't get better. Armaid, wrist thingy, and not touching grippers has been the right combination for me. I used the wrist thingy 2-4 times per week when I first got it, then put it down for a few weeks (due to time constraint). My right elbow felt like dog meat foli about a week, but starting this week I noticed that blowing my nose and wiping my ass no longer hurt. (Seriously, it hurt like hell!) I'm hoping to build on the progress I've made and really be smart about training in the future. The one positive from this whole experience is that I've learned a lot about the nature of this kind of injury. I treated it as inflammatory for a few months, but this was counterproductive. I think the bottom line is I went way too hard on the grippers too soon, without building sufficient functional grip strength first. Also starting to question the value of grippers a little bit. More and more they seem like a novelty, for lack of a better word. Still very much interested in the various certs, but starting to see more value in other methods.

DoctorOfCrush Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Ugh, golfer's elbow sucks. I dealt with it chronically when I was big into olympic weightlifting. Did you ever try voodoo flossing it? That always helped me pretty considerably. I would do it before mobilizing prior to a workout and then do it as I cooled down as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorOfCrush Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 No problem. And you don't have to buy commercial products for it to work. I just used a cut bike tube. Works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Matney Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 So you think that would continue to help the medial epicondylitis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorOfCrush Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It did for me for sure. I would wrap from ~3 in below the epicondyle, up, then down typically focusing the tension of the wrap over the flexor attachments. I didn't ever cross the elbow joint. If it was particularly bad and I could pinpoint the problem area (typically the spot just distal to the epicondyle), I would wrap up a playing die to truly pinpoint the maximum pressure. Then I would work through ranges of motion with and without holding onto something until my hand got 'dusky' from lack of circulation. It's called voodoo because it's basically black magic how it well it can work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Matney Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 I cut a 26" bike tube today and tried it out. Wrapped it tight from the elbow joint down and moved it in every direction for 3-4 minutes. Did you do this every day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorOfCrush Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 For times when it was a bad flare up, yeah. Sometimes I would do it a few times in a day. Did it work for you? I don't think I could go that long with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
