    Question Unknown forearm/elbow injury ruining my life (srs)

    Posting this here because the short term injury thread seemed different considering this is now long term. I used to be a serious bodybuilder and fitness was a HUGE part of my life from the age of 16-18....That was until, I "over-trained" by doing regular/reverse wrist curls (tryna get those McGrath forearms), dips ( I already did them alot in my routine, but then I would superset it with pullups or max out at 70) and legs curls nearly everyday at my old highschool, then additonal regular routine later in the day at around 7. I did this for about a month. I got a bit bigger relatively fast, until I noticed a sore and weak feeling in forearms/wrist/elbow that prevented me from feeling any sort of bicep pump, and a constant weakness in my right leg. Being the idiot I was, I trained through it. Eventually I decided to hit the walk in clinic, where the doctor just tossed me away quickly by saying "Oh just take some Aleve for a week or two and you'll be fine."....So I did, and the pain was still there. I then researched the **** out of what it could be and thought it might be tendinosis, the more severe tendinitis. I then went to 2 sports clinics, with one saying it was golfers elbow, then the other tennis. I then did about 4-5 months of physiotherapy, acupuncture, and heat therapy, massage therapy and small weights for it....and still nothing. And on top of that, in between I waited months for small checkups with my awful family doctor, who could give less than two ****s. It took 9 months for me to get an upper elbow MRI appointment (After an X-Ray came out fine) and when I did, the results came in saying nothing. So now I'm going into college tomorrow, small as ****, and not able to access the fitness centre or have confidence with girls. Also, even ****tier a feeling, I was becoming a weapons technician in the Reserves and a personal trainer at a gym, however I couldn't finish basic training with my arms all ****ed and being at the gym not lifting made me feel worse. I have a cortisone injection appointment in a month, then I see a nerve specialist the month after. It's almost been 2 years since initial paint.

    This injury has pretty much ruined my confidence, and path I had set out in life. When I was big I was even a virgin too, and didn't realize I should of been chasing puss. Now I've spent over 3000 on Coke and strippers and think about ending my life everyday in a hail of gunfire ( half srs)

    TLDR; Overtrained doing wrist curls and calve raises everyday plus additional workouts everyday for a month, now constant soreness in elbows/wrist/forearm and right leg preventing me achieving a pump and making cardio, jerking, and everything in life feel painful and weak. What could it be or what should I do?

    If you feel a sharp pain going down your radius/ulna during curls it could be forearm splints. But yeah, i helped mine by sticking to dumbbell curls instead of ez bar/barbell curls. Helped heaps lmao except still hurts like crazy when trying to spot mates on bench.

    If you need to be at a gym to have confidence with girls, there's something very wrong.

    Well, I have confidence in myself and abilities, but being jacked obviously makes you stand out and more attractive. Not that fitness was about that for me, it pains me to no extent that I can't participate in the lifestyle/activity I love and had no help after nearly 2 years....
