Alright, so long story short, I was doing heavy negatives ~1 month ago on my biceps, and when I left the gym, my inner forearm felt like it was on fire. The past few weeks, i have noticed a twinge in my inner forearm. I have talked to a few docs in the Er and it could be tendinitis, but we won't know unless I get an MRI.

I was just about to start my first cycle in Sept. I can workout ( as long as I don;t do bicep work), the pain is not always there but its there.

I just bought a badass McDavid compression elbow sleeve and been icing it along with glucosamine and chondritin. I have been taking ibuprofen as well.

Now, my question is should I completely stop all lifting and baby the fuck out of this thing and hope it heals, or should I just keep doing what im doing, and just play it by ear. Hopefully, it will heal and I can start my cycle.

I am just concerned that the pumps will make it even worse if i cycle.

Any input is appreciated. I have noone else to talk to about this fucking dilemma :(

GIVE THAT FUCKER SOME REST!! NO BULL SHIT, STOP NOW! I had that exact same pain, thought I'd take it easy, go light, what ever. Stupid idea! Woke up one day, went to work, and could feel it from my delt to my hand! Got top the point where doing shit like carrying a gallon of milk and unplugging a extension cord, even sanding fiberglass became VERY PAINFUL! Needless to say I could not even load a barbell with 45s. Not good. I had to take 6 weeks of from everything except the machines for legs, and cardio. Don't try to work around the pain because soon it will be there every time you move your arm! I took potassuim abd ibuprofen, seemed to help, and ran test to raise my rbc and wbc levels.
After 6 weeks I starts going light again, then stepped it up until I was back in the gym 2 hours a day. A few weeks ago it started to flare up again so even it comes to back and bi's, I drop the weight 15 to 20 percent from normal, abd get a set of 12 to 15, starting at 15 seconds after every minute, abd ending at 35 to 45. I do that for an hour with the intention off taking my tendons to the limit, but not over it, while still shredding ad many muscle fibers as possible. What I've found is that I can slowly increase the weight faster than I have to drop a couple reps, abd my tendons stay pain free. Plus, you'll get a pump and DOMS like you won't believe.

Lol, fat dudes be looking at you like they wish they had the cardio to fight.
 
So yesterday, I rolled the fuck out of the tendon with lotion and a rubber kong ball, kept compression on it, and iced the fuck out of the tendon..Today, it is hella sore and hurts like a bitch. Feels bruised
 
Shit suppose to hurt like this today, this is the worst pain I have felt from it since it happened...

I had to eat 2 vicodin yesterday just to get through the pain
 
Shut down....your ego is to big lol!! Seriously you have to shut down. All this talk like things are going to heal it.....it won't. YOur best bet is rest shut down one week and go light still there stay shut down three more day and repeat. OGH is right do things to strengthen the area. When I got arthritis in my shoulders....I shut down and went on a mission to build em up. Haven't had to many problems. There is nothing you can do until you shut down and heal a bit though.

At least you are aware:). One week man work on those chicken legs for a week lol!!!! I love giving you crap Nitrust just because of your ego. Not because I don't like you. One week man lower body/core only you ON yet.
 
Yeah I guess I hit up these chicken legs and work on this core while I'm down..hopefully this bitch will heal, but atm, it dosen't feel like its ever gonna heal...

I wont be ON until I am 100%

I must say though, I am super anxious to start now that I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED TO GET GOING.. it just sits on my shelf, sometimes I can hear it calling my name...

I wish the shit had magic voodoo healing powers, then I'd put it in my jugular ;)
 
Smart man.....no magic healing powders bro. I think we have all gave something a go many times in hope of magic healing. It is like trying to find the Holy Grail.

At least you know to wait don't waste the gear. I have met many an idiot who thought jumping on the gear while injured would help.
 
Nah, I wish that was the case, but I KNOW that it will only make it worse, and it will only piss me off that much more.

I put in alot of time and thought getting this all prepped, and I want it to be a great experience

oh man.. bro that sucks the big D. you gunna hate this injury. if its near the funny bone, it probaby is golfters elbow. depends how long it knocks on ur door. if its short lasting ''acute'' ice, nsaids, rest, that will work best. take 7 full days off. if you must get a leg routine in go for it. dont use biceps. tris, dont bench , especially dont do a chinup.pullup, or any back excercises that require grip and pulling. Rest. why i reccomend this is if its not chronic, rest may work. and you dont want to have to rest on cycle. and a cycle will do nothing but increase muscles and push you further, in turn aggravating it, and you wont be able to use your FIRST cycle to your ultimate benifit. Injury on cycle means dropping cycle. the faster the recover from injury the faster you could be back on a 100% full cycle to full ability.
I can name all the things that help this nagging injury. i got it on week 15 of my first cycle.. still here 2 mo latter. once its chronic, you train around it, never doing a excercise that hurts is key. re adjust grip if it hurts. lighten working weight. rest more. massage , basically lube each elbow up and work the tendon down with your knuckles, or press forearm into knee while sitting and massage it , not gently. massage should hurt. friction massage brings blood to site, and helps promote healing. wear that compress , infact find a band to go around that , i use a tendontis ace band.
massage 2 x a day. do that supination shit religiously , and stretch 3 ways, pulling fingertips down like mercy style both ways and folding wrist down for third stretch. also if you put your elbow out,with palms facing outward so inner elbows rest about your bellybutton, and then lay flat on your stomch on your arms itll force your elbows straight and give you great stretch. Hit the NSAIDS, gluscose, supper cissus, fish oil religiously. work your forearms out w/ light db's while isolating elbows from movement.

here was my orginal advice. more and more friction massage. it brings blood to the site, whether it hurts or not. i reccomend not taking the ace band off either for 1 week. sleep in it.
 
its a nasty injury .. even after 1 week totally off.. it didnt heal for me. got slightly better, but not healed. rest is 4-6 weeks with a nasty tear... however very few with ocd will take that kind of time off. just listen to everyone. give it a week. and try to figure out what movements to drop and sacrafice for others. there is no easy way.

my start date is naturally oct. and i pray it resolve by then, but if it hasnt, ill have deal with this for 3.5 mo and will safley train on cycle around it.

Are we thinking he has a tear? A tear is a whole different ball game. Especially bicep.
 
I will just have to wait until I am healed because I want teh biceps to get fuckin swole too.. I was hoping for 18's after this cycle...probably won't happen now
 
I don't think its a tear, as I said before, it dosen't hurt unless I use it (excluding today because of the hardcore deep massage I did yesterday

I have purchased
Super Cissus (SHOULD BE HERE TOMORROW)
Omega 3's
Fish Oil
Glucosamine/Chronritin
I have meloxicam (high strength prescribed NSAID that I got when I hurt my back, and I have prescribed Naproxen 500mg when that runs out)

Starting tonight, I will begin to sleep with my compression elbow wrap
http://www.sportsunlimitedinc.com/mcdavid-4-way-stretch-gel-elbow-sleeve.html?CID=GoogleShopping&Size=S

It has 2 little compression pads on either side of the forearm

I have been putting a ping pong ball under that (right on the tendon) and then wrapping a 4inch ace wrap around that for ~20 mins at time

It restricts me bending my elbow at all and squeezing the shit out of my arm..if I keep it on too long my fingers get a little tingly

no i guess i typed that wrong.. i just repeatedly suggested rest, and several things over this thread, and im pointing out that any physio that seen us for tendonidis, tennis, or golfers, or a mild bi , or tri tear, irregardless, would reccommend 4-6 weeks of total rest. and a MRI most likely. why do i know this? because this is exactly what ive gone through, and ive had some many naggin injuries that i know this is the first thing they say. rest, then PT. then they send you to a specialist when all else fails.
