Blacksmith513 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I'm probably overreacting, but earlier I nailed my elbow/tricep on the back of my dump truck.... I went down it hurt so much. My left hand, mainly the ring and pinky went numb all the way to the elbow.... Feeling is back, but its still tingling and its a deep ache now, no sharp pain.. I can move everything... Went home real quick, grabbed ice, ibuprofen, elbow compression sleeve and my a squeeze ball, and iced and gently squeezed the ball on the way to the job to promote blood flow. I'm guessing because the pain, isn't sharp and i can move everything i probably just bruised the insides... But the tingling has me a little worried. Anyways, being that this is a forum that specializes in the elbow down, I'm just looking for some feedback on how to recuperate quickly. I'll go to the doctors if it doesn't get better but i'm not one to run to the doctors. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tingling is still here and grip training makes it worse. As long as you haven't lost any strength or range of motion it should be fine. I would go to a doctor anyway just to make sure you don't have any nerve damage. My pinky and ring finger are still tingly every day. Recovering from this can take years like I said I still have it and I think I hit my elbow 2 years ago or something.

John Knowlton Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 This stuff works pretty good on sprains and strains or muscle pains I highly recommend it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gripperer Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Ouch. I had similar when I was pissing about with a solid oak stick and cracked the nerve where hand meets wrist. Hurt a hell of a lot and tingled for about two weeks: eventually went away with no lasting damage. Good luck... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith513 Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Thanks everyone. I'll look into that stuff @John Knowlton... Icing it right now. I still worked, stretched, and played some guitar, Some pain and some tingling. Lots of climbing around too at work but it didn't hurt more when i performed these tasks.. So hopefully it will clear up in a few days. Was gonna attempt a G5 bolt tomorrow too... But now no way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
