After some more investigation (IE, me paying more attention to where the pains were coming from) I realized I've also must have upset my Brachioradialis muscle in my arm when I fell off and whacked my tendon, this muscle is near the tennis elbow tendon and has very similar symptoms, the...

I've found so much conflicting information online, some physios and doctors swear by Rest, Ice and Compression etc while other say that's nonsense and you need heat and constant stimulation of the tendons to keep blood flow. So much of it is conflicting so I don't know where to start. My own...

The way things are going I may have to consider the steroid injection because I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping at night due to pain every time I move my arm and currently there's no way I can even begin to start any stretching or exercises. I'll see how it is after the full 10 days of...

I've the compression sleeve on for a few days now and I've been icing it when I can and I believe it's making a difference, I was getting a fair bit of pain even when just stood still with my arm straight down by my side but that seems to be going away now which I assume is down to the sleeve...

Thank you, I'll definitely be following this advice. I've measured my arm and ordered a light compression elbow sleeve and I will continue icing it when I can. Unfortunately I can't avoiding using it at work, I'm a CNC machinist so I'm constantly picking up billets of steel and using hand tools...

I stopped riding months ago, the injury didn't come from the emtb or from any repetitive motion, it was a one-off freak accident where I fell off my street trials bike and whacked the tendon on a wooden pole. It just so happened to have caused the exact same symptoms as tennis elbow because I...

So I've come to the conclusion that any type of tennis elbow stretches or exercises are a no-go for me current because anything I do with it is super painful. So I'm currently giving it a couple of weeks of rest, and by rest I mean still working but trying to avoid using it as much as possible...

I know, I have a '20 Cube in black/grey and it looks awful, even worse up close. The colours are rubbish, not painted well and the grey bits just seem completely random, horrible grey as well, looks like primer in person. Even one suspension linkage is grey on mine but the one on the opposite...

Cubes paint schemes are horrible.

Again, thank you 😎

Haha brilliant, I'll try that!

Thank you very much for taking the time to write that, it's very helpful. I did ice it a few times a day for a couple of weeks right after I injured it starting within a couple of hours of it happening. I've pretty much stayed away from painkillers as well because like you said I've found pain...

I've done this for a rotator cuff problem in the past and it's surprising how good just hanging from bar is for you. Not really thought about doing it for the arm so will give it a go.

So I need to figure out some decent stretches then.

Interesting, I'll gen up on that then.

🤔 I'm one those people who walk around my house and garden bare foot all the time anyway which has probably done me more bad than good because I have a hedgerow at the end of my garden that's likes to chuck lots of spikey things all over the grass 🤬

I was initially hoping the same thing as it was caused by a whack but I forgot to mention that I did it back in June so if it was bruising then it would have been better now. I think you're right about the fine line between using it and damaging it further, I do still use it at work but I'm very...

Haha that's weird, I think the There and Flexbars I have do the same thing as I believe they are also pronation exercises.

I did actually try that a few years back when I had it in my other arm but for me it made zero difference unfortunately.

That's really interesting, I'll definitely look into acupuncture then as ite been mentioned a few times.
