Hi,
Some two weeks ago I got my forearm stuck under some heavy weight, whereafter I felt pain in the elbow. I self-diagnosed it as a hyperextension strain and the first days I applied ice to the elbow. For the first week I used antiinflammatory pills and antiinflammatory gel.
The pain got a lot better the first few days, but since maybe day three it hasn’t improved. Whenever I fully extend my forearm, or when I flex it a bit beyond 90 degrees, I get pain localised entirely to the inner epicondyle of my elbow. Between those extreme positions I feel no pain at all.
Does this sound like something I should go get checked, or do I just have to wait and rest? Could it be something other than a strain? Also, is there some kind of strength training I can do? All big exercises are out since they put pressure on my elbow, and I’m getting sick of hill sprints.
Thanks
