The nurse had to reposition the needle. I have had quite a bit of bruising on the lower inside of my elbow, which showed up ~1-2 days later, and significant soreness in my upper arm, particularly when I flex or extend. Blood was drawn from my dominant arm, so I assume some persistent soreness is due to use, but it has been a week and the soreness has not improved. I’m wondering if (when?) I should be worried.

I was sick and had to go to the hospital today, where they gave me a saline solution intravenously. While the IV was in my arm, another nurse came in and told me to undress for an EKG. I asked her if we could remove the needle from my arm first.

She looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Uhh, you can bend your arm." When I did, blood went back up the IV tube for about 6 inches, and it caused a little pain. However, now I can barely move that arm at the elbow and it is very sore.

Was she wrong?

One day, John’s tennis elbow was acting up and he decided to stop in and see a doctor. When he got to the doctor’s office the nurse told him he could see the doctor in 15 minutes but, first he’d have to give a urine sample. John said that this was absurd but, the nurse insisted and John complied. 15 minutes later, John was ushered in to see the doctor.

“So that tennis elbow is really acting up, huh?” the doctor said.

“The nurse must have told you,” said John, wondering how the Doctor knew.

“No. It was in your urinalysis.” and the doctor continued to say that he had just purchased this new machine that could diagnose every physical condition with total accuracy based on the urine contents. John didn’t believe a word of this but he did agree to provide another urine sample on check-up visit.

Two days later, John was sitting at the kitchen table with his wife and his teenage daughter. He was telling them about this ridiculous machine when he
had an idea. John decided to have a little fun with the doctor and pissed in the bottle as did his wife and teenage daughter. Then while walking to his garage he had yet another brainstorm. John put a few drops of oil from his crankcase in the jar and even beat off and put a few drops of semen in the jar. He drove to the doctors office, shook the bottle, then handed it to the nurse. This time his urinalysis took half an hour. Finally, John was ushered in to see the doctor.

The doctor looked at him with an agitated look in his face and said, “I’ve got some bad news. Your daughter is pregnant, your wife’s got V. D., your car is about to throw a rod, and if you don’t stop beating off that tennis elbow is never gonna heal!”

it almost feels like tennis elbow, or at least how it is described, but it hurts when i swing, or just move it up and down. should i wear a brace for a while and see if that helps?
heres the thing. this is my major tennis season, and i cant stop, if i stop i wont get scholarships for tennis for college. i took aleve before practice today and it helped and i got a brace. will it help it at all? i also talked to the nurse at school who suggested the brace
sorry- i know it sounds stupid to risk the rest of my playing career. i will take it easy, thank you im just rediculously scared that i will never be able to play again. ill work on stretches, plus this week is tryouts, and im already on the team, so i can take it easy. im just stressed sorry for the snap

A man hurts his elbow & goes to the dr. When the nurse takes him to the room, she hands him a cup & tells him that they need a urine sample. "A urine sample?" the man asks, "For what, I hurt my elbow?" The nurse replies, "We have a new machine that can diagnose anything by a urine sample." So, the man pees in the cup & hands it to the nurse. The dr comes in and tells him he has the worst case of tennis elbow he has ever seen, gives him some exercises & to come back in two weeks with another sample. So, the guy goes homes & thinks "I’m really gonna get this dr" so he pees in it, has his wife pee in it, his daughter, his dog, puts some crankcase oil from the car & j**** off & puts that in there. When he gets back to the dr, he hands it over & waits. The doc walks in a few minutes later & says, "Alright smartass, your wife’s got VD, your daughter’s pregnant, your dog’s got rabies, your car’s about to throw a rod and if you don’t quit j***ing off that tennis elbow‘s never going to heal!"
