RE: Training for American Ninja Warrior - Day 7

That stuff with your elbow first sounded to me like something might have happened to your tendons but what you reported here seems not to fit into the picture. But I'm just making uneducated guesses.
Give your elbow some rest if possible and maybe some slight cooling after the workout.
Best regards!

Yes, I think it's definitely tendon based... I've seen a number of medical professionals about it and gotten XRays and MRIs, etc. Unfortunately, I've been given some conflicting advice. The physiotherapist thinks that there is minute extreme swelling in the tendons that connect to the elbow... and believes that rest, heat and stretching is the best remedy. The chiropractor believes that the nerves aren't connected properly and I need to retrain the elbow gradually building up to harder exercises to fix it. It's been painful for 8 months... I'm hoping it gets better soon, it's super holding me back.
