This is becoming increasingly frustrated. My right elbow area becomes painful while doing any kind of pressing movements. I do not have any pain in my forearm. The pain is located only in my right elbow area.

I recently switched to false grip just to experiment and the pain is far less. I have also noticed the pain occurs while I am sleeping and have my arm in somewhat of a curled position. It appears as if I have something such as tennis elbow. Any other opinions? Also, any suggestions in terms of treatment?
 
I have been dealing with this shit for about 3 weeks man, I wear a compression sleeve on it when I lift. Curls, pulldowns, rows etc.. don't really bother me as long as I don't try and go too heavy. Bench is completely off limits though, really annoying injury.

I had the same injury last year, only way to make it go away is to rest and keep ice on it.

Are you on Arimidex?

I had an elbow problem from doing tricep pushdowns. I researched how to at least not make it worse. Ran across an article about eccentric training for healing injuries. I laid off pushdowns for a couple weeks outside of doing the eccentric rehab stuff and it helps immensely. I cant find the article at the moment, but it definitely helped my elbow. Might be worth a shot.
 
Take some time off those certain lifts if needed. I'm not sure how bad your is but I personally had to take a few months off. Tendons take a long time to heal. Use a wrist brace to keep your writs in a neutral position. Wear it as much as possible and take it off to make to stretch and maintain flexibility. U will thank me later.

Your muscles are growing too fast for your tendons. Don't lift so heavy for a while.

Looks up physical therapy exercises once it starts to feel better. If u have been working through the pain I would Atleast take a few weeks off. also deep massaging helped me a lot in the recovery process. A small wheel from the local hardware store works great and is cheap.

Good luck
 
Thanks for all of the replies. I am not taking armidex at the moment. I'm only taking a TRT dose of test cypionate and nothing more. I am about 10 days into my hiatus from pressing movements. I also purchased a brace, which covers my elbow. I use it at night. So far, the pain is almost gone (occasionally flares up). I am going to take a break until January.

I will look into some physical therapy and eccentric exercises.

Use lifting straps for a while. It will take pressure of your forearms. I just dealt with this and straps helped a lot. The bucket of sand opening and closing your hand in it works well. Gets the blood flowing to that area which is key to healing. Stretching also
 
Lay off the movements that are painful. That's why it hurts. That means don't do it as long as it hurts.

True, I had to stop lifting for 3 weeks. I kept trying to work through it for months and it only got worse. Rest it now or you'll have to rest it a lot longer later
 
I've had this, and more tendon issues, in both arms, for years. Did everything short of surgery, no good.

This year I've almost cured it. Multiple rounds of PRP treatment. A smidgen of pain still left in my right elbow, maybe 10-20% of what it was, but left arm is totally painless now. Highly recommended.

Years ago I had to lay off curls for close to 6 months. I tried to work through the pain. After the first several sets my arms would go numb. I took those 6 months and bombed tris. If I'm injured I work other body parts harder.
