[lisaboots22]

I recently got tendinitis in my right elbow after working out with heaver weights I started using a brace and now I have taken 2 weeks off and uses heat gel to try and help it. but it is still sore any suggestions? I hate not being able to lift weights

I hate not being able to lift when I've gone through an injury. I say you should listen to your body and dont push it.

Amen to that...dont get overzealous. TAke your time

Agree 100%...never understood why people always say train through the pain. I've lifted through fevers and sickness...but I will never lift through any physical pain like arm/wrist....otherwise it will compound your problems.

I trained through a fractured wrist. NEK MINNUT wrist fcuked and out for 4+ months

never move into pain
pay attention to form.
be sure for every pull up you do a push up at some point.

mc, very nice post. I appreciate that. I have a question about exercising while injury. There is a friend of mine whose shoulder bone is dislocated. The tissues surrounding the bone seems to be lossened out and it's not really in a good shape. Doctor's advice is to go for a surgery, but he is unwilling to do as he is under some anxious problem which is not giving him the enough strength to go for a surgery. But he feel to do some kind of exercise yet he is not doing because he is afraid that his shoulder bone dislocate again. Any advice?

I read you article in a jiffy(short on time)...need your help. I have been working out with heavy weights since 4 1/2 years. I did what you have written here...stopped moving in pain and cured my injured knee and shoulder with right training but a new pain has been bothering me since last 4-5 months...it's re-occuring...it pains right in the middle where the muscle meets the bone all along my forearm of the left hand. Whenever it happens i have to leave weights and train light but it keeps coming back. It's light but continuous pain 24x7. I have left gym since last 2 months! I know it will be back as I soon as I lift any weight...Can you help me get back to the gym? Thanx.

In my opinion, always a bad idea to train while in pain

[AntonioPablo]

I have also trained through pain and it only aggravated the problem. I had to rest for a month for pain to go away.

Pain - well discomfort - can be an interesting way to get at analysis of what's going on if that pain goes from a current accute issue to chronic.
