Hot or cold compress (or surgery)?

[solo47]

Just whacked out something in my right elbow. Doing an extra set of braced bicep curls with more weight than I needed. Pushing it. Something popped inside my right elbow-bend area. Grimace-pain, not anguish-pain or anything. Couldn't do any more. Still fully functional but stiffening fast. No swelling I can see. Put on linament. My guess is a burst blood vessel or capillary or whateverthefuk they're called, i.e., a minor sprain.

What can I do for my elbone to make sure I can keep up my training?

Deacon, it's not cancer.

Do the r.i.c.e. method, rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Also take some Ibuprofen for an anti-inflam.

Thanks, Wildman. I had forgotten the "rice" thing. Found some old vicoprofen & took two with a glass of Medoc Rouge. Not sure about the inflammation, but am feeling no pain.

No problem, sir.
