My son is 5 yrs old and broke his elbow on Thursday. He had surgery on Friday morning to put pins in the bones. The doctor said he shouldn’t return to school until this Friday, which means I have to stay home with him. I am missing 5 days of work. Does this sound right? I want to go back to work but I am afraid to go against dr.’s advise.

I have a nagging bit of elbow pain that is only prevalent when doing a pressing exercise. About 2 weeks ago I did some heavy bench presses with pins set about 6" above my chest – thus working the top portion of the lift. Since then, doing bench press with any reasonable weight is excrutiating. It’s getting better, but still painful. The elbow has no redness or swelling and is not sore to the touch, but when pressing, it ACHES to the point where I feel weak and have to stop lifting. I’m fairly certain it’s neither tennis nor golfers elbow, but am confused as it’s a pretty complicated joint. Any ideas??

Also, pulling exercises (rows, deadlifts) also aggravate it, though not to the same extent.
The pain is only felt when the bar is closer than 5-6 inches to the chest.. both down and up

I plugged in my fan without turning it off, stupid I know, but lack of sleep during dead week will make you do stupid things. Anyways, I was shocked in my right arm and now the muscles in my forearm and bicep are really sore/tight, also my joints (elbow and shoulder) feel like thick pins are stuck in them. Is this something I should see a doctor for or just let it go? I’m just surprised it hurts after about 40 minutes.

Any thoughts?

Two and a half weeks ago my pinky finger and ring finger went numb, and it began to hurt when I bent my elbow. It has gotten better some, it doesn’t hurt when I bend my elbow anymore, but the two fingers have the pins and needles feeling. My question is, will I ever get better, and will the symptoms ever fully go away. Thanks for your help.
