Severe pain in my triceps?!


Question: Severe pain in my triceps?
Recently I worked out, and did about 50 incline pushups each day, Wednesday and Thursday . NowThere is a severe stabbing pain just underneath my elbow, and when I try to straighten out my arms or bend them, it hurts even worse. Could it be tricep tendonitis?

Answers:

First of all, don't go hardcore cold like that again. Increase load and intensity by 10% weekly. (I KEEP having to learn that the hard way!)

It could be any of the soft tissues. The cure will be the same - RICE (rest ice compression elevation) in first 48 hours, and avoid further injury. (Leave it alone!) When pain recedes, you can do some dynamic stretching (this will help avoid scarring as the fibrous tears heal). Google your symptoms + physio + exercises to see what specific exercises come up. And be smart about the sources.

Or, see a physio :)



its just like "cramps" ... or you din't stretched your arms before you do extreme workouts.. so your arm / tricep muscle was like shocked/ surprised... it will wore out about a week.. or go ta a massage clinic or anywhere that your arm be massaged :D
