im only 12 so i dont know what to do and it start after i woke up form my nap and all of the sudden my elbow hurts to extend it i cant put my arm down so please help me
Although I’m only 5’3” (on the short side), my weight is pretty much in check – I checked out my BMI and I’m very close to being underweight, but that’s not the problem..
For the last month, I’ve been pretty inactive. I wanted to exercise and be in shape, but I’ve just been really lazy and relaxed quite a bit. My jaw muscle (?) has been hurting recently, and random muscles in my elbows, or thighs or the one connecting my calves to thigh muscles (behind the knee), and my gums in my mouth…
This is bad, right? How do I make myself feel better (exercise releases endorphins?) but without a whole lot of commitment, I don’t want to have to hit the gym for like an hour everyday – I’m just a teenager so I have school and other things to focus on.. I play tennis, but that won’t be regularly possible, if at all, at least for another month. 
Any suggestions appreciated :] Thank youuuuu
i went on a fishing trip for 3 weeks, it was fine, nothing strenuous, but now that i got home, i have very sore ancles and soles of my feet (at the heel, the pain comes from underneath) very sore wrists and elbows, sore chest muscles, sore throat, and red spots all over my palms. now i have not done anything that would normally cause sore joints, this has occured 4 days after i got home, i have not done much since, just unpack and tidy the house, i am 18 also.
what might be causing this?
I’m 15, and since I was about 10 I’ve been getting 24/7 discomfort in my joints.
First it was only my wrists, but now its starting to spread to my other joints (ankles, knees, elbows). I have to crack them/roll them around for the discomfort to stop for a second and then it is painful again. After about 30 minutes exercise they hurt like crazy and I have to stop.
I don’t do any intense exercise. I’ve been exercising the same for years (tennis, jogging, swimming) and I play piano. I have a healthy diet, and while the pain never is extremely bad and doesn’t affect any other part of my body, its just constant, always there.
What do you think it could be? Thanks!
Weird feeling in arm after going to chiropractor?
Went to chiropractor for back adjustment and ended up telling him about tennis elbow I have been dealing with. He did a minor adjustment on my arm by placing the palm up and pulling the arm toward him. since that visit I have had pain in my bicep and near or in my shoulder. It didnt hurt initially but seems to be aggravated now by swimming and push up style exercises. What could he have done??? A physical therapist and him both have told me that nothing major could have happened and that this pain should just go away but it is not going away and Im worried. What do you guys think happened and what should I do?
First off, i started lifting weights when i was 15 1/2 i got started lifting august of 2009, lifted for about 6-7 months and then i first started getting pains in my elbow. I took a week off, returned the next week and was fine. Couple months later it returned slightly, the kind of pain that just kind of aches to where your uncomfortable, and it would only happen when i was sitting or laying around. I lifted a little through it but lowered the rate of my exercises, and it eventually came back then too. Got to be summer 2010, and i tried p90x, i made it through phase one but i couldnt make it to the recovery week of phase one (3 weeks into the program) and my elbows were in agony.
I didnt lift for a month and a half and i went to the doc. He said it was tennis elbow, and told me to wait a little while before i start lifting again. After the pain subsided (1 month and a 1/2), i started back with low intensity to work my way up. Everything was going good. Started doing weight training at school august 2010 and after we maxed out on the second week, my forearms and elbows were hurting.
I went to the doc again and he said he thought my tendons and ligaments around my elbows were just inflamed from maxing out on bench press, and incline bench press. took 2 weeks off, with a very powerful anti inflamatory and i was fine. Got to be a month and a half later, it was bothering me slightly so i took a few days off and i was ok. Now we get to december of 2010, we were getting out for christmas break and we would have a 2 week vacation, so i tried to do a little more than usuall so i’d get a little more muscle growth over the break.
That was the 20th, well my elbows and forearms started bothering me that evening, i waited until the 23rd and they were still bothering me a little, but i done a little workout at home with my at home equipment. And they’ve really been bothering me. I havent lifted at all, just worked my job. My job consists of scrubbing, painting, sanding, and fixing up a house. I’ve been working that job since the end of september of this year. It seems like my joints are aching. My shoulders, my biceps (slightly), my tricep where it connects to my elbow some, the top of my forearm (where tennis elbow would be), and my elbow joint was hurting.
It just snowed here on christmas eve, we got 6 inches so i was wondering if maybe the cold weather had anything to do with it or if it was something more serious.
Can someone please help me out. I don’t understand why I’m aching so much now but i wasn’t at this time last year if it has to do with weight training.
Pelican, I’m aching all over my arms right now. Basically i kinda have a little pain in my shoulders, sometimes throughout the day my bicep will be sore, occasionally my triceps, but i can really feel it on the outside of my forearm where my tennis elbow was, and on the back at the elbow joint. My shoulders is either between the trap and shoulder on the back of the shoulder.
Basically its a “weak feeling” if you will and almost feels like i’ve had a hard workout and my elbows are the same and the top of the elbow feels like a bruise but there’s no bruising there.
I fell on october 18th and i sprained my right elbow and wrist. I was wondering how long it will take for both to heal. I have my right wrist in a brace and the arm in a sling. I just wanna get back to turning pens on a lathe.
Went to the chiropractor for a tennis elbow adjustment and came out with bicep tendinitis in my shoulder WTF? He put my arm with the palm of my hand facing up and yanked it toward him. The pain didnt come on immediately but it was hurting so much while trying to exercise that I went to a real doctor and she diagnosed me with bicep tendinitis. How did this happen? Is my arm going to be permanently messed up or out of proper alignment? What should I do?
For the past 2 years, with it getting worse the last 6 months, I have pretty bad pain when walking, with stiffness and swelling in my knees, hips and ankles. My fingers are also stiff and achy and I also have pain in my elbows. Walking, bending is getting worse. And climbing and coming down stairs is very difficult. Although some days seem worse than others. Also, my toes seem to be deforming and I have pain in them as well. What could be wrong with me?
I’m going into ninth grade this year and I’m playing football. in 7th and 8th grade i had to play wide receiver even though i really wanted to play quarterback. I can throw a football 50 or so yards but ever since i entered the 7th grade i can’t throw a football more than once before i get severe pain in and around my elbow. what is going on??
I popped my elbow a week ago, had a splint and got a MRI yesterday. Results wont be ready till tomorrow. It did still hurt yesterday at my MRI when they put it at this angle. How long is the supposed to last? Cause now when I straighten it, it doesn’t hurt. Could I still have one of the 2 problems and the pain is going but still needs to be treated?
Baseball season has just started at my school, and I started off fine with no problems, but now every time that I try to throw a baseball hard or a long distance I begin to get a pain in my elbow. I’m 16 and throw with my right hand. Could it be my throw all together causing me to feel this pain? Do I need to do other things alongside icing it after practice? What should I do to help this pain stop?
Over a week ago, I hurt my elbow lifting weights and was diagnosed the next day with Tennis Elbow. Doctor only gave me pain medicine and told me to get a wrap over the counter. The pain has since subsided, but there is still some discomfort. How long should I take off before I resume lifting? Should I lift as much as I can, even if there is a small amount of discomfort, or will this hurt it further or take more time to fully recover? Will it ever fully recover?
i lift wieghts the next day my elbow joints hurt
my biceps dont hurt at all just my elbows
why does thiss happen?
I have been having wrist pain for years now and im only 19 y/o. My doc diagnosed me with a torn ligament in my wirst 4 years ago, but i went to a hand specialist and he couldnt find anything wrong. So he ordered a mri, xray, nerve conduction test, emg, and mri with fluoroscopy. All tests normal. But now i am having pain in my forearm, my other doc said its tennis elbow. I am going to physical therapy now. But that seems to be making it worse. My p.t said i have an extremely tight tendon in my wrist and tight muscles in my forearm near my elbow. She massaged that for a while and gave me some exercises to do. This was last monday. Since then i have been waking up i excruciating pain in my elbow, where i cannot move it or make a fist. The top of my hand, thumb and wrist is very sore and weak. It almost feels stiff. Sometimes i have burning and throbbing sensation. The pain is radiating into my fingers and on the palm of my hand at the base of the thumb. Im not sure what to do. I cannot sleep cuz the pain is incredible. I am really fed up with this. What can I do?? Should I see another hand surgeon?? I have had 2 cortizone shots and those did nothing. I have also had 3 casts on my wrist. I am very upset. And all this typing does not help. Could someone please help me?? Writing, typing, and gripping aggravate it, but lately ive been have pain at rest…. Please help… Thank you so much
i have thought about amputation.. lol
Whenever i start to warm up after like a few throws i feel that my elbow kinda hurts. and then when i finish pitching my elbow hurts. as in i cant barely lift anything with it until like a day or two! is this normal? am i pitching wrong? please help?
I work as a stocker in a pet food place, lift 40-50 pound bags of food, and have done triceps, biceps,chest and shoulder exercises for the past month, and noticed a pain in my left forearm and outer elbow that throbs, slightly weakens the elbow, and hurts when i flex my bicep. I first noticed it when doing barbell curls, but i think the bag lifting is what created it totally. HOW DO I KNOW IF I TORE SOMETHING, or whether its like tennis elbow, ect? Can i still weight lift if its tennis elbow, or do i have to waste time by letting it heal? PLEASE HELP!
I actually have developed tennis elbow through baseball. We play and practice everyday, and the pain is on the inside part of my right elbow. I throw and hit right handed, and have had the pain for about 3 months now. Is there anyway I can heal my elbow while still participating in activity everyday. Exercises?
It is on the inside of my elbow, the side closest to my body.
I’ve had tennis elbow for some time now from military training. I’m out of the service now, and have rested my bicep for 8-10 weeks doing physical therapy and all the necessary things, but it’s still just as bad. Please do not recommend medical treatments (i.e. cortisone or resting). My question is if anyone knows of bicep/shoulder workouts that do not put too much strain on my elbows. Curls seem to only worsen them, and shoulder press is out of the question. Any WORKOUT ideas will be greatly appreciated, as not being able to lift weights and only doing cardio has caused me to lose nearly all of my hard earned muscle mass. Thanks in advance.
Correction: I’ve rested my elbows, not just biceps.
3/4 of the time my elbow hurts when i try to make it into a straight arm. what would cause this and how can i fix it?
Although I appreciate any ones helpfulness greatly, & I realize you are just being genuine, I have gotten many answers when I had a problem like this recently, that did not help at all. So I need clarify things.
1. I almost definitely understand more than you do about my arm and what I have done right & wrong in conditioning, stretching, warming up, & performing with my right arm.
2. I don’t want to hear about how I need to warm up better, & stretch out my arm & I definitely do not want to hear how I need to throw less. I condition my arm in such a way that my arm can take more throwing than you would expect. I throw everyday, therefore I never get a sore arm. I get minor injuries, mostly to the elbow, but I have an arm that is conditioned & prepared at almost a professional level.
3. The one thing I will willingly admit, just to get out of the way, is that I often times do not warm up my arm properly before throwing. I prepare it when it comes to working out & keeping it healthy, but I understand, & hope to fix when my arm is healthy again, my poor pre-throwing activities.
4. Yes, I am a 13 year old kid, almost 14. But do not tell me how I am too young to have such an injury, or I don’t throw hard enough, because that automatically makes me skip your answer, knowing it won’t be any good. I go to an academy, am well taught, take yoga and palates classes, have pretty good mechanics for my age, & I am big for a 13 year old.
5′ 7”, 145 big.
Anyways, thank you for reading those. I just need any answerers to understand those things.
Here’s what I need to know. I’ll give the questions, then give more detail below
What are possible injuries to the ulnar collateral ligament? What I’m wondering is, could you partially tear it? I understand you can receivemicro-tearss to it. Can it be strained, pulled or another injury? If so, how can I get an idea, other than an MRI, what my diagnosis may be? I have done much research on the injury, & I have many of the symptoms, however mine seem to be more acute versions of the symptoms. This leads me to believe it could be a partial tear, which would be good news to me, assuming partial tears can heal, at least decently. Also, what would such an injury feel like when it occurs? I know this happened one time about 2 months ago, & I was VERY worried about it at the time, but nothing really seemed to trigger it. This time, I hadn’t thrown in 4 days & my arm felt great, so I sped threw warmups & on to long toss, & one specific throw, that may have been thrown a little oddly, gave me a sensation I wouldn’t exactly describe as painful as other information I have read would indicate is common. It felt like a slight hit of the funny bone, maybe with a little pain, but more worrying a feeling than a painful one. I immediately realized it & began throwing with less velocity cautiously, not as much because I couldn’t with the pain, but I was being careful. However, the throws following the incident had significantly more pain than the incident itself, although still nothing unbearable.
Now one more thing that could be a relieving thought, would be, when you tear a ligament, or when reconstructive surgery is needed, does this mean the ligament is torn right through the whole thing? If not, then what is considered a partial tear? At what speed & completeness do partial tears recover? Quickly, fully, slowly, not quite 100%?
More information. This happened to me about 2 months ago, without a specific trigger. I threw through pain for about 1 1/2 weeks(don’t tell me… I understand the mistake here). The only grace in throwing threw the pain was, knowing I could do it. As bad as it is to throw threw pain, knowing I could at least do it, was a bit of a relief ; such an injury requiring Tommy John Surgery, I’m sure would not allow any performance. After that time, I came to my senses & realized I should take days off & let my knowledgeable coach know. After the 3 or 4 days off, the injury had subsided a little bit, & I took it easy that practice. With limited throwing for the next week or so, I was back to 100%. Now here is what I think was another large mistake. Instead of rehabbing it a little bit, I jumped right back into throwing full speed & everyday. I was fine, no problems with my arm for about 2 months, til last saturday. This weekend I also threw through pain, as it was a tournament, & I didn’t want to disappoint. On saturday & sunday combined, I probably threw just under 100 pitches(don’t let that number scare you). My elbow was very sore monday morning, & I could not fully straighten it, however later in the day I got it to be almost fully straight w/ little pain. This morning was the same, with no noticeable difference.

Okay I have a bunch of uniform shirts and they go down to my knees, and the sleeves are at my elbows. I have three days until it is time to wear them, how do I get them to shrink FAST?? (They are all %100 percent cotton, but not the soft cotton like your favorite shirt, but stiff, icky cotton.) Other than putting them through the washer?
HELP!
No, I am going to wash them, I was just wondering if there were any other tips that people had instead of washing the shirts. I already know that washing them on high heat will shrink them, just looking for anything else!
I hit my elbow really hard off a wall by accident, and after i did it i almost fainted. It hurts really bad (without moving it) and everytime i try to move it it like squeaks, and the whole bottom half of my arm is numb.
