You're right, there is something very aesthetic about it. I was thinking that the body stops looking gross & starts looking mechanical after a bunch of these videos but the way they've stripped some parts & posed the rest is what makes the function so clear.
The efficiency is masterful. It does so many things well that it's incredibly highly optimized. The answer to "Why isn't it better at such?" is almost always "it would directly diminish other functions." Like if your car is faster, it's less fuel efficient because it creates more drag, which you can reduce by increasing the aerodynamic shape, which decreases cargo and passenger space. And the smaller the more aerodynamic but you end up not having enough room for a powerful enough engine if you go too small, so it defeats the purpose, and consequently you end up with a sweet spot of compact, sedan, or pickup truck depending on your performance priorities.

Plot twist: The person enquiring about the arm woke up from surgery one day, with a missing right arm. The surgeon’s response was, “What can I say? You wanted us to remove your appendix…we removed your appendix.”
Ok I’ve sorted mine and I’ve come back here to share how I did it. I do motorcross and I damaged mine properly!! I tried everything including 3 cortisone injections. I also bought that silly strap which actually hurt it even more. Mine was torn on the tendon and the muscle was torn causing pain from the tendon, down about 5cm. NOTHING worked. Rubbing it sideways, up and down, icing it, etc etc etc…It was so so bad, I couldn’t do anything-had it for 5months. I started to read all the comments and picked up two bits of info. I bought a simple hot water bottle. I started every evening after supper, to put the hot water bottle on my arm and hold it there until it cooled down. I got it as HOT AS POSSIBLE!! For as long as possible. I also did it some afternoons. While doing it I kept my arm as STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE!!! Then, I went to sleep with my arm STRAIGHT and never bent it in the night. I used extra pillows to keep it STRAIGHT. I did this for 3 weeks thinking I’m still going to have to go for an operation.. when one day I woke up and it felt sore, but a different sore. Because I’d kept it STRAIGHT for as long as possible, it had a chance to recover. The heat from the hot water bottle brought blood supply to the area and it healed. I went for a slow ride yesterday and the rest of my body is sore, but not the tennis elbow. I’m still doing the hot water bottle!!!! I’m NOT getting this pain again I am determined!!!

@@AkiraHartono some people are so determined to not fix their bodies that they just live with it honestly. Not saying thats the case here but it probably is since tennis elbow is fixable. Granted, most people dont take the time to look into it either
She does but iI just keeps getting worse. Her right arm isn’t as bad anymore. She worked in a hospital as a housekeeper for 15 years, constantly lifting heavy bags of trash and linen. Now she works at FedEx delivering packages, and our dog is really rough with her and he caused the start of tennis elbow in her left arm (dominant) She was on steroids for a week I believe and it didn’t help her arm. Just her knees. She is seeing a doctor. My mom is also the type of person who puts it off until she can’t tolerate it anymore. A lot of it has to do with the fact she had a shit husband who made it difficult for her to do things for herself (I.e doctor appointments)
@@syd_VonBielefeld well just so you know tennis elbow is fixable without going to the doctor. Just have her work on wrist extensor and flexor stretches for a few months
I transcribed medical reports for about 20 years, but I never got to see what the doctor was talking about. I'm retired now, but how refreshing to see the actual structures/parts!
The Tendon which is often involved or mainly involved in Tennis-Elbow is the Tendon which connects the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis to the Lateral Epicondlye
I kept on playing with TE but the pain woke me up at 4 or 5 AM everyday and I had to ice and take PKs just to get back to sleep again. Had to lay off the racquet for like 2 or 3 months :'(
It's all about the ECRB. The extensor carpi radials brevis. Force moment through the carpal bones and somewhat to and through the extension motion of the middle finger. Has the greatest force moment in extension due to the middle finger being the longest digit. Every time you grab something(flexion of virtually all the digitorums)the opposing side moderates the flexion moments of the digits - functionally in MRIs, and mostly via the carpal attachments. So in reality - and the ECRB in intensity have to act to mediate the degree of "grasp"(so as not to crush a paper cup for example). That's why it hurts to even grab a glass of water when epicondylitis is severe. Release this sucker correctly and your client, with forearm prone similar to the cadaver arm in this video, should have their middle finger "flipping off the therapist." Not just because of the pain jokingly, but because the musculotendinous unit will shorten with applied pressure in the right amount and at the precise point near the lateral epicondyle but literally on and around the area of the myotendinous junction of the common extensor complex. Have done this successfully many times with many clients. Pressure point of release Needs to be deep and long (and applied very slowly but progressively)in duration, preferably with a very skilled elbow on the part of the therapist and opposite hand thenar eminence stabilizing the working side/limb elbow of the therapist as not to slip off the area(it sucks if you do and client won't continue). For years and years - this has always been highly efficacious to All - yes ALL - clients with a higher athletic style pain tolerance that can handle the slow, adaptive deep pressure and active release techniques. Anatomy Trains is a great book.
Interesting. I was scheduled for 2 shoulder operations about 4 years ago. I could not lift either arm higher than my waist. But, before surgery, I researched like crazy and then went to a most highly skilled PT (who works w/ Major League pitchers) and paid him to do his thing. 10 sessions later.....I'm functioning pain free. Canceled both surgeries. This was 3-1/2 years ago..... I won't be doing anymore pull-ups, but I'm a very active 67 year old. Now: Simplify what you just said above. AND are there simple exercises that will help? (I've got "Pickleball Elbow"!) :-)
@@peterb2346Not trying to make this more complex than it may or may not be, but without being there in person makes it more obscure to give accurate recommendations because I can't read your body language; ask you to move the arm/elbow in certain ways that bring about your pain, ask you to judge it's severity (1-10, 10 being tears one being just enough to know it's there) etc. That being said - the best analogy is to think of a shoe lace with a knot in it. To strengthen any muscle you obviously require that muscle to generate tension over and over with each contraction. The tighter and more often you tense that rope (or muscle), the tighter and more stubborn the knot becomes. Also - not to repeat without giving additional value or answer your question but…the actual release (rolling the lateral elbow on a hard enough ball or massage tool and or preferentially getting a good massage therapist to release it who is well trained in trigger point release to (pardon the overused simplification) - undo the knot. Then you stretch and strengthen. The “shoe lace” will be back to its original length. Combined with stretch and strength maintenance, it will be less likely to reoccur. Lots of these things are difficult to describe, easy to demonstrate. I would put a short vid in here if I could. But not trying to hi jack anyone’s channel - lol. Look up or google “self-stretches for the wrist extensor muscle groups” and or “common extensor group of the wrist.” Good luck.
Actually, and you should make a video showing this: one of the best treatments is a thin brace worn snug a few inches distal to the epicondyle. This pressure pushes down into the extensor tendons essentially making their anchor point closer than it is naturally. So then when the person uses the wrist extensors, it pulls at the brace site instead of the epicondyle. This lets the inflammed section of the tendons rest. Having a cadaver arm, showing how this works, will help people understand the mechanics of why it works. I usually try to explain it to my patients using the guitar string as an analogy, by pressing down on the string you restrict what part of the string is engaged and able to vibrate, while the part of the string part your finger can stay still. This also works with medial epicondylitis, which is the same issue but with the flexor tendons (golf elbow)
I was literally thinking about tennis elbow a few minutes ago. My elbow started hurting a couple days ago. I pulled up RUclips on my TV just now and this was the first video on my recommended list. 😆😅😳
If anyone aside from Tennis players can relate to this it's arm wrestlers. OMG the pain. Both tennis and golfer's elbow are huge issues, more so for myself who also has an autoimmune arthritic condition which multiplies this exponentially!
Same here but it's been going for over a year now. My life has completely changed (for the worse; can't do most of the things I love because of the pain and dexterity loss), and I am desperately looking for a way out.
I’ve had problems with both elbows for years. Tennis elbow basically is an OVERUSE injury. The repetitive motion doing gardening, painting, even ironing can cause a flare up. Then the jolt of pain when you move forearm and it reminds you to work smarter not harder next time.
Looking at all those tendons on the back of the hand just blows me away. Whether we were created or evolved, the human body is just one incredibly insane piece of art. 🤯
Tennis and golfers elbow(which is the same as tennis elbow but on the other side) is msot often caused by either a weak shoulder that doesn’t sit in good posture during activity, and/or a weak forearm, or not enough forearm engagement, particularly not having both while lifting.
I had to get surgery in order to fix the problem after over a year of being in horrible pain every time I moved my arm. I'd done the Prednisone shots and they worked for roughly 3 months but every time I got the shot it set me into mania and that would land me in the psych unit. After my insurance said they wouldn't pay for the surgery, I appealed their decision explaining that they could either pay for the surgery and hope it fixed it or I could continue to get the Prednisone shots every 3 months and they could pay for me to be in the psych hospital for 2-3 weeks. They reversed their decision decision and paid for the surgery which was a complete success. The doctor that did the surgery said it was the worst case of tennis elbow that he had ever seen.
It appears this is the condition I’ve been suffering from for the past 2 mths. My stubborn & impatient butt keep working out and using that arm. Will try to rest it so it can truly heal. Thanks for this video!
Lateral epicondylitis happens with repetitive wrist extension, the opposite is called medial epicondylitis or golfer's elbow caused by repetitive wrist flexion, to relieve them you can stretch the opposite way, for example with lateral epicondylitis you stretch your wrist towards wrist flexion and hold it for about 15 seconds. Just search online I could be wrong in some part lol
I’m listening close but sometimes I get STRONG anxiety being reminded of mortality and that as we get older, these injuries amount to our undoing Really drives home the sense of doom 😅 10/10 info to be avoided at all times 😅 I know this got really deep but feel like the reason a lot of us love to keep so busy is so we never hear the clock ticking and start to see ourselves looking vulnerable like this
btw for those with tennis elbow something else that would help is getting some sort of roller and rolling your triceps and forearm muscles for a few minutes should provide some more relief.
I wonder if you’ve ever heard of Saturday night palsy? One time I fell asleep strangely and for about two weeks, I could not lift my hand/wrist. Or move my wrist up, resulting in a 100%limp hand. No pain at all. Never could decide which nerve I pinched. Strangely it was the morning after a covid shot.
I've heard that when being introduced to cadaver work, it is the hands that really bring home the reality that this was a person; someone's child, with feelings, and goals. I would think it would be the head. What do you think?
Very firm pressure with your thumb, for two minutes on muscle at elbow, outside, top part. You will feel it. Stand and put your hand flat on table, and press on muscle, right under joint. You will feel the pain, when you press it. Hold as you feel fibers loose. Reposition after two minutes and continue. You're welcome.
Years ago I unwittingly put myself in the "long haul" category. 😱 I've learned to use massage, warmups, careful strength training, and rest to improve somewhat.
Had it. Went to batting cages to build strength to my lower back. Use to spend over $200 a month there. It was my physical therapy. You get it if you straighten your arm before ball impact. Straightening it with a snap. It feels like a fatigue watery pain
I've had persistent pain in my left elbow for months now. I had finally gotten to a point where thought it was more or less gone and I did some lat pulldowns on this machine that also had those rock climber things as the narrow grips and those f-d me up again lol the only exercises that don't hurt are dead hangs and push ups so that's i work out my upper body for now. Not to mention my job and general life tasks that requires both arms, starting to feel my age
There is no cure for this. I’ve been out of the gym for numerous times because of both tennis and golf elbow. Once for 5 months, again for 8 months and most recently, for over a year thinking time would heal it. After going back to the gym, after just two weeks, the pain is back. So now I’m just getting cortisol injections until it finally tears and then I’ll get it surgically fixed.
People don’t realize how hard it is to dissect this beautifully 😂

Does she not treat it??
@@AkiraHartono some people are so determined to not fix their bodies that they just live with it honestly. Not saying thats the case here but it probably is since tennis elbow is fixable. Granted, most people dont take the time to look into it either
She does but iI just keeps getting worse. Her right arm isn’t as bad anymore. She worked in a hospital as a housekeeper for 15 years, constantly lifting heavy bags of trash and linen.
Now she works at FedEx delivering packages, and our dog is really rough with her and he caused the start of tennis elbow in her left arm (dominant)
She was on steroids for a week I believe and it didn’t help her arm. Just her knees. She is seeing a doctor.
My mom is also the type of person who puts it off until she can’t tolerate it anymore. A lot of it has to do with the fact she had a shit husband who made it difficult for her to do things for herself (I.e doctor appointments)
@@syd_VonBielefeld you can have her strengthen her forearm flexors (other side of the arm) this should help as well
@@syd_VonBielefeld well just so you know tennis elbow is fixable without going to the doctor. Just have her work on wrist extensor and flexor stretches for a few months
I transcribed medical reports for about 20 years, but I never got to see what the doctor was talking about. I'm retired now, but how refreshing to see the actual structures/parts!
Where are you from
The Tendon which is often involved or mainly involved in Tennis-Elbow is the Tendon which connects the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis to the Lateral Epicondlye
I understand what you're saying somehow lol
@@JinxMarie1985 that’s cool 🤣👍
I kept on playing with TE but the pain woke me up at 4 or 5 AM everyday and I had to ice and take PKs just to get back to sleep again. Had to lay off the racquet for like 2 or 3 months :'(
It's all about the ECRB. The extensor carpi radials brevis. Force moment through the carpal bones and somewhat to and through the extension motion of the middle finger. Has the greatest force moment in extension due to the middle finger being the longest digit. Every time you grab something(flexion of virtually all the digitorums)the opposing side moderates the flexion moments of the digits - functionally in MRIs, and mostly via the carpal attachments. So in reality - and the ECRB in intensity have to act to mediate the degree of "grasp"(so as not to crush a paper cup for example). That's why it hurts to even grab a glass of water when epicondylitis is severe. Release this sucker correctly and your client, with forearm prone similar to the cadaver arm in this video, should have their middle finger "flipping off the therapist." Not just because of the pain jokingly, but because the musculotendinous unit will shorten with applied pressure in the right amount and at the precise point near the lateral epicondyle but literally on and around the area of the myotendinous junction of the common extensor complex. Have done this successfully many times with many clients. Pressure point of release Needs to be deep and long (and applied very slowly but progressively)in duration, preferably with a very skilled elbow on the part of the therapist and opposite hand thenar eminence stabilizing the working side/limb elbow of the therapist as not to slip off the area(it sucks if you do and client won't continue). For years and years - this has always been highly efficacious to All - yes ALL - clients with a higher athletic style pain tolerance that can handle the slow, adaptive deep pressure and active release techniques. Anatomy Trains is a great book.
Interesting. I was scheduled for 2 shoulder operations about 4 years ago. I could not lift either arm higher than my waist. But, before surgery, I researched like crazy and then went to a most highly skilled PT (who works w/ Major League pitchers) and paid him to do his thing. 10 sessions later.....I'm functioning pain free. Canceled both surgeries. This was 3-1/2 years ago..... I won't be doing anymore pull-ups, but I'm a very active 67 year old. Now: Simplify what you just said above. AND are there simple exercises that will help? (I've got "Pickleball Elbow"!) :-)
@@peterb2346Not trying to make this more complex than it may or may not be, but without being there in person makes it more obscure to give accurate recommendations because I can't read your body language; ask you to move the arm/elbow in certain ways that bring about your pain, ask you to judge it's severity (1-10, 10 being tears one being just enough to know it's there) etc.
That being said - the best analogy is to think of a shoe lace with a knot in it. To strengthen any muscle you obviously require that muscle to generate tension over and over with each contraction. The tighter and more often you tense that rope (or muscle), the tighter and more stubborn the knot becomes.
Also - not to repeat without giving additional value or answer your question but…the actual release (rolling the lateral elbow on a hard enough ball or massage tool and or preferentially getting a good massage therapist to release it who is well trained in trigger point release to (pardon the overused simplification) - undo the knot. Then you stretch and strengthen. The “shoe lace” will be back to its original length.
Combined with stretch and strength maintenance, it will be less likely to reoccur.
Lots of these things are difficult to describe, easy to demonstrate. I would put a short vid in here if I could. But not trying to hi jack anyone’s channel - lol.
Look up or google “self-stretches for the wrist extensor muscle groups” and or “common extensor group of the wrist.” Good luck.
My hungry ass could never be a doctor
💪🍖😋💦
😂😂😂😂😂
“Yo FBI open up”
Long pork!
You know, I felt guilty for thinking how weird it is that inside, we look a lot like turkey.
Actually, and you should make a video showing this: one of the best treatments is a thin brace worn snug a few inches distal to the epicondyle. This pressure pushes down into the extensor tendons essentially making their anchor point closer than it is naturally.
So then when the person uses the wrist extensors, it pulls at the brace site instead of the epicondyle. This lets the inflammed section of the tendons rest.
Having a cadaver arm, showing how this works, will help people understand the mechanics of why it works. I usually try to explain it to my patients using the guitar string as an analogy, by pressing down on the string you restrict what part of the string is engaged and able to vibrate, while the part of the string part your finger can stay still.
This also works with medial epicondylitis, which is the same issue but with the flexor tendons (golf elbow)
Whoever dissected that did a beautiful job!
I was literally thinking about tennis elbow a few minutes ago. My elbow started hurting a couple days ago. I pulled up RUclips on my TV just now and this was the first video on my recommended list. 😆😅😳
Same here. I bought a tennis elbow brace and now this pops up. Just a daily reminder that you're being watched ... constantly.
atp we can all agree youtube (and the entire google corp. in general) reads our minds
I guess he searched for it online beforehand.
If anyone aside from Tennis players can relate to this it's arm wrestlers. OMG the pain. Both tennis and golfer's elbow are huge issues, more so for myself who also has an autoimmune arthritic condition which multiplies this exponentially!
Hoping to see a short about carpal tunnel vs cubital tunnel syndromes.
I got both from having to do 5-6 hours of deep tissue massage with no breaks
@@Mando_Leota I've had both off and on for so long I have no idea where it started, but it was definitely constant when I was a bus boy last year.
You just answered questions my doctors couldn't. Thanks for the info!
I once had a right hand man. This is all that's left of him
You wrote a nice pun there mate...to explain kids these days
Well played
show golfer's elbow! I've had chronic pain around both my medial epicondyles for months. would be cool to see how it looks below the skin!
theraband flexbar. look it up. it'll help.
Same here but it's been going for over a year now. My life has completely changed (for the worse; can't do most of the things I love because of the pain and dexterity loss), and I am desperately looking for a way out.
Creepy, yet fascinatingly beautiful.
Its not beautiful
I’ve had problems with both elbows for years. Tennis elbow basically is an OVERUSE injury. The repetitive motion doing gardening, painting, even ironing can cause a flare up.
Then the jolt of pain when you move forearm and it reminds you to work smarter not harder next time.
What about any exercise possible to lengthen the muscle or graston? Wouldn’t that eliminate the “long haul” doom?
Looking at all those tendons on the back of the hand just blows me away. Whether we were created or evolved, the human body is just one incredibly insane piece of art. 🤯
"Honey, have you seen my right arm anywhere?
Getting the arm off that cleanly is a ridiculous achievement
"THE SUSPECT'S ARMED! DISARM THE SUSPECT NOW!"
anatomists:
You would think something that hurts as bad as tennis elbow would have a significantly more ominous name than tennis elbow.
It is actually a tendonopathy and you have to stay active to rehab it
Beautifully dissected
I've had tennis elbow twice. It sounds silly, but it's awful. I didn't enjoy it or carpal tunnel, no fun at all.
Not disrespecting you or profession, you guys have guts. I can never imaginr myself in your shoes.
How are the bodies saved in this form showing all the muscles,bone, tendons and so on? How are they preserved?
Formaldehyde. It smells like death.
The Institute of Human Anatomy actually did a video where they talk about that: ruclips.net/video/fuL9RmHEGUY/видео.html
@@Ice_Karma thanks for pointing 👉 these 2 scientists in the direction of that video 📹...
Tennis and golfers elbow(which is the same as tennis elbow but on the other side) is msot often caused by either a weak shoulder that doesn’t sit in good posture during activity, and/or a weak forearm, or not enough forearm engagement, particularly not having both while lifting.
Ever since the Internet came to fruition, this elbow disorder has increased 10,000%
Such a clean dissection 🎉🎉🎉
I will treasure it for life❤
Thank you from the bottom of my heart im no doctor or anything but the knowledge ur giving is heaven sent
Thank you very much for teaching us peasants. I really appreciate it! I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Never played tennis but def had this a few times. Horrible when you don't have a choice and can't rest it.
I had to get surgery in order to fix the problem after over a year of being in horrible pain every time I moved my arm. I'd done the Prednisone shots and they worked for roughly 3 months but every time I got the shot it set me into mania and that would land me in the psych unit. After my insurance said they wouldn't pay for the surgery, I appealed their decision explaining that they could either pay for the surgery and hope it fixed it or I could continue to get the Prednisone shots every 3 months and they could pay for me to be in the psych hospital for 2-3 weeks. They reversed their decision decision and paid for the surgery which was a complete success. The doctor that did the surgery said it was the worst case of tennis elbow that he had ever seen.
Love a good elbow anatomy video 🫶🏻😄
Oh, that takes me back to when I was a student. We owe the kind people who donated their bodies to science a dept of gratitude.
It appears this is the condition I’ve been suffering from for the past 2 mths. My stubborn & impatient butt keep working out and using that arm. Will try to rest it so it can truly heal. Thanks for this video!
Rows and deadlifts cause it. Reason is obvious if you know anatomy. No big deal, the second it feels better hit it again.
💪
Would love to see you go in depth on a hand. I suffer from hand pain between typing a lot and wear and tear from blue collar work.
Can you please tell me...how did you cleaned this specimen of human hand...????
Love❤ from INDIA....😊😊
thank you for showing one of the things that’s been hurting like hell after 28 years of labor👍.
Lateral epicondylitis happens with repetitive wrist extension, the opposite is called medial epicondylitis or golfer's elbow caused by repetitive wrist flexion, to relieve them you can stretch the opposite way, for example with lateral epicondylitis you stretch your wrist towards wrist flexion and hold it for about 15 seconds. Just search online I could be wrong in some part lol
I’m listening close but sometimes I get STRONG anxiety being reminded of mortality and that as we get older, these injuries amount to our undoing
Really drives home the sense of doom 😅
10/10 info to be avoided at all times 😅
I know this got really deep but feel like the reason a lot of us love to keep so busy is so we never hear the clock ticking and start to see ourselves looking vulnerable like this
I haven't used my degree in anaomy and physiology in years. These vids are fun!
btw for those with tennis elbow something else that would help is getting some sort of roller and rolling your triceps and forearm muscles for a few minutes should provide some more relief.
Jelly fish stings are the cure cause you forget about your elbow pain lol
Glad to see this arm came in handy
I wonder if you’ve ever heard of Saturday night palsy? One time I fell asleep strangely and for about two weeks, I could not lift my hand/wrist. Or move my wrist up, resulting in a 100%limp hand. No pain at all. Never could decide which nerve I pinched. Strangely it was the morning after a covid shot.
This arm is dissected so beautifully
Beautiful dissection dude
I have tennis with golfers elbow… I was told not to ice as it makes it tighter and yes, more painful!
One of the significance’s of pain is it tells you when you need to rest.
The neighbors say he has the best Halloween props around.
Solution:
1) median nerve flossing exercises
2) strengthen tricep in various ROM
3) avoid compound lifts like pressing until pain is gone
4)harden up
Thank you wise one, very informative.
I've heard that when being introduced to cadaver work, it is the hands that really bring home the reality that this was a person; someone's child, with feelings, and goals. I would think it would be the head. What do you think?
Cadaver does not care. People die all the time. Why waste it?
Everyone is gangsta until the arm starts moving on its own
Very firm pressure with your thumb, for two minutes on muscle at elbow, outside, top part. You will feel it.
Stand and put your hand flat on table, and press on muscle, right under joint.
You will feel the pain, when you press it. Hold as you feel fibers loose. Reposition after two minutes and continue.
You're welcome.
Looks like this gentleman also had a seperated right shoulder
I'm glad that we have experts like you in this world!
Also called Climber's Elbow, amongst those who are not vertically challenged.
Hopefully it grows back.
Years ago I unwittingly put myself in the "long haul" category. 😱 I've learned to use massage, warmups, careful strength training, and rest to improve somewhat.
"overworked forearm" dude was def married
I would like to shake his hand for donating to science.
Had it. Went to batting cages to build strength to my lower back. Use to spend over $200 a month there. It was my physical therapy. You get it if you straighten your arm before ball impact. Straightening it with a snap.
It feels like a fatigue watery pain
These shorts are fascinating and vividly paint the picture that life-forms are essentially organic robots.

When your tennis elbow is an out-of-body experience
Foam rolling the knots on my forearms is what worked for me
Tennis elbow forced me to follow through with my strokes. Really ended up improving my form a lot! And also never had the problem again.
I've had persistent pain in my left elbow for months now. I had finally gotten to a point where thought it was more or less gone and I did some lat pulldowns on this machine that also had those rock climber things as the narrow grips and those f-d me up again lol the only exercises that don't hurt are dead hangs and push ups so that's i work out my upper body for now. Not to mention my job and general life tasks that requires both arms, starting to feel my age
i got a strap that you put about 2-3 inches below the elbow relieves the pain with some pressure.
I'm glad people donate their bodies - so much can be learned.
I've had this before so bad just trying to move it would cause me to cry myself sick. One of the most painful Ortho ailments I've ever had.
This poor souls is one of the many fatalities of arm wrestling.
Thanks I'm currently struggling with this it sucks. I love working out. I take a break then go back to exercise it comes right back.
A positive Cozen's Test will identify this diagnosis
There is no cure for this. I’ve been out of the gym for numerous times because of both tennis and golf elbow. Once for 5 months, again for 8 months and most recently, for over a year thinking time would heal it. After going back to the gym, after just two weeks, the pain is back. So now I’m just getting cortisol injections until it finally tears and then I’ll get it surgically fixed.
