Has anyone else ever used the chopat tennis elbow strap while swimming? I (foolishly) have been painting my whole downstairs while also upping my swimming yardage and weights. Today I suddenly couldn't straighten my arm without much stiffness and minor pain. It sounds identical to what my husband had from lifting months ago. He was diagnosed as having tennis elbow.
I have caught it early (I think/hope) as it hasn't hurt at all before today and it doesn't hurt when I don't try to straighten or twist. I'm not sure if I should swim with it or not but thought I'd ask about anyone else's experiences. I'm kind of hoping that stopping the painting will allow me to swim after a few days. Any thoughts???:help:
I believe that strap is for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) and works to displace the orgin of the tendon insertion. It should allow you to extend your wrist better which hopefully has little to do with your swim stroke.
