On Wednesday, I worked out for the first time in a couple months. I didn’t stretch very well afterwards because I was in a hurry. Yesterday I was pretty sore as expected, but this morning the muscles around my elbows are killing me. I can’t even extend my arms all the way out.

First of all, how do I know if it’s just sore or if I actually hurt myself?

Second, what is a good way to deal with this? Do I try stretching a bit now, or will that hurt it more? Will pain killers help until my muscles heal?

Thanks in advance.

I am curious and would like others opinions.
I have been dealing with throbbing pain since a accident when a very early teen. Over 20 years now.
I had yet another accident within the last 3-4 years. Causing another host of painful outcomes.
Anyhoo I have been talking with others who do not understand that I do not take so many pain killers as to be "out of it". These people do not understand. The group of peeps (it is a medication group) seam to think one should not feel any pain what so ever at anytime!
I am curious how many people think it is OK to feel….pain. I mean when it gets real bad I do take something. I am deathly afraid of being (or getting) addicted to pain killers!! I have kids that need me. I see how other people are and do not want to be this way.
At the moment if I went to the doctors for my arms (tennis elbow? I have RA) I would have to have very painful injections with needle.
My motto Pain is just a way to no you are alive…..

What is your opinion?
I thought I would add I do have a seizure disorder which makes some pain killers off limits to me.
RA is rheumatoid arthritis, some mornings I can not walk, move.

My mother has tennis elbow and suffers a lot from the pain…. some days she finds it hard to use it, my uncle had it but got it sorted after a injection at the local doctors. My mum is so scared of needles and refuses to have this done… The bone is slighty sticking out and she cant twist it or put pressure on it..Dose anyone know if theres any thing else that could prevent her pain??? Apart from pain killers

Thank-you

I do not want to use pain killers to suppress the issue. I want a permanent cure, other than surgery, and steroids.
