All of a sudden after four years of competing and regular workouts my medial right elbow is strained and hurts with stroke. I am in the 75-79 age group.. How do I modify my stroke to alleviate the strain. I swim all four strokes and am entered at Harvard ten events in two weeks. I am icing and using ibuprofen. Thanks
I have this condition as well, which was brought about by use of over-sized hand paddles. I think that rest, ice, and ibuprofen are the initial treatments of choice. Sometimes surgery is required if it gets really bad. I ignored the symptoms many years ago to my peril. One night the pain in my left elbow became severe, preventing me from sleeping and triggering a bout of shingles, which is extremely painful in its own right.
