Question for all you guys that work out. I hurt my right elbow earlier this year while doing skull crushers. While working out I felt a pop in my elbow, but nothing hurt at the time. A few days later my elbow was killing me, I couldn't and didn't want to move it past a 90* angle. I went to the Dr.'s she took some x-rays and she told me it was bursitis. She tried to remove fluid but was unable to.
Fast forward a few months. My elbow still hurts, when I do heavy weight exercises. Mainly when I do skull crushers anything over 70lbs and my elbow feels like it want to give out, I was doing 90lbs when my elbow popped. It's not bad when I do rope pulldowns, push downs or bench dips (I'm a fat guy
), although I can feel it strain a little.
Now I haven't been in the gym for about a month now and today I tried to do some two handed behind the neck dumbell extensions and my elbow is still tender. I can work through it but it's kind of an annoyance now. I was wondering what I can suggest to the Dr to look for during my next check up.
