Well, it's back - that darned medial epicondylitis. On both elbows, too. This is about the 3rd or 4th time. Each time it happens I go to kick sets or bike until the pain is gone; I also do every wrist and forearm exercise I can imagine (grips, wrist curls, rotator and stabilizer exercises). I've tried swimming closed-fisted. I've tried using forearms braces. I've cut out *** stroke altogether. The last few weeks leading up to the re-injury I did nothing but very eeeaassy sidestroke (left side over, right side back). Must I conclude that I just don't have the arms to be even a modest fitness swimmer?
Thanks, y'all.
In all my years of swimming I've never once experienced elbow pain so I suspect that either I'm swimming incorrectly or you are. I've not heard that swimming is hard on the elbows but gull80 can correct me on this one.
