I have some inflammation in my hand (palm side) and finger tendons that makes making a fist kind of sore. Also, I have some elbow issues, mostly in the tendon areas. I do a lot of housework and typing, which may be the problem. I am resting the arm and taking motrin, any good exercises for these trouble spots? Thanks in advance, good links appreciated…

I’m a pitcher and have been experiencing some elbow soreness recently. My physical therapist said it was tendinitis and I’ve been doing arm exercises and getting deep tissue massages. I pitched in a game two days ago and threw 30 pitches. During pitching my arm felt fine, but afterwards it hurt so I iced it. Yesterday it still was sore so I took four motrin and it feels great now. If the motrin keeps working I’ll take it but I was wondering if four was too many. By the way I’m 15 and I’m 6’0 tall and 205 pounds.

I began experiencing pain in my right arm about a month ago. I tried just using my left for a while but then got the same pain in that also. I went to the doc and she determined i have tennis elbow and prescribed motrin, a pair of tennis elbow braces, and regular ice/heat and rest. It’s been a few weeks now and it’s not a lot better. The odd thing is, i have pain on the outside of my arm AND the inside (all in forearm). Also, im now having swelling in my right arm and hand. Can anyone shed some light on this and if im doing the right thing? Thanks!!
Thanks for clearing that up! My next question is: where should i wear the brace? I have pain in the tendon and the lower extensor muscles so i am not sure where to put the pressure point. And the outer side of my forearm is swollen in one spot (kind of halfway between elbow and wrist – if you look down at your arm with palm turned down). So i’m confused where the pressure point should be… Any advice?
