There's a thread on it here allroad: https://www.digitalworldz.co.uk/index.php?threads/239238/

mainly rest from whatever you are doing to aggravate it, some massage and stretching and then exercises.

i think i got it in the gym

ok, is it from a particular machine do you think, or weights or what?

is it swollen, if so ice it.

if you can bear to do cross fibre frictions on it after a couple of days that is what will really help. basically you find the sorest point, put pressure on it with your thumb and move your thumb across it in a sawing motion. don't do it if it is excruciating, that means you are putting too much pressure on. And use deep heat or something like that on it before massage and ice it afterwards.

Also do stretches, put your arm out straight and gently bend your hand backwards at the wrist with the other hand. do this in both directions i.e. palm upwards and palm facing downwards. you can also try fingertip walking on the wall, this is walking your fingers along the wall with your arm outstretched behind you. if your tennis elbow is in an acute flare up just put ice on it and leave the massage and stretches for a few days.

cheers m8 not swollen

just sore when bending

think i got it from bench press

 

[Evastar]

ok, well then do the massage and stretches for a few days see if that helps, and give the bench press a miss for a while.

let me know how you get on

what part of the elbow is sore exactly when you bend it?

 

[allroad]

its not the elbow bone its the smaller bone beside it some call it your funny bone

Medial Epicondyle Allroad, that's the bony little bit on the inside of the elbow.

Insertion point for the Flexor Carpi Ulnaris (wrist flexors).

Funny bone is really the ulnar nerve as it hooks round the epicondyle.

What symptoms?

Sore elbow at a guess?

ok that's not tennis elbow, as Spectre says it's the medial epicondyle, it's probably golfers elbow.

The test for it is to make a fist with your hand, put pressure with the thumb of your other hand on the attachment (where the tendon meets the bone) and rotate your fist towards the floor and back again. Let me know how that feels. It's pretty much the same as tennis elbow except the other epicondyle. I'll post something up on it in the elbow thread later.

That's Olecranon Bursitis .
