Tendonitis?

[Matthew Mueller]

Hi, everybody. Haven't really posted before here except on the main page for my results.

Anyways, i've been getting an acute pain in the outside of my right elbow whenever I put a load on it. Especially in a dip type motion.

I'm taking a week off to let it get better, what i'm really wondering is if this sounds like tendonitis. I've never been quite sure what that is.

Possibly lateral epicondylitis....

what other exercises hurt it?

Rest, massage, ice fter an light exercise, avoid things that hurt it... general prescription for tendonitis healing..

Thanks

I noticed that the pain was the most pronounced if I stressed it in a curl type motion. Not that I do those of course. I think it might be related to the big increase in my volume of pull ups. This last cindy was the first time I was able to go through the whole 20min without my arms dieing on me and switching the assisted pullups. Though an actual pull-up doesn't seem to agitate it at all, until later.

Guess no matter what the prescription is probably the same.
