davidsprincess's Journal, 13 June 2022

I am going to go a week without lifting and just stick to cardio until my arm is better. For awhile I was doing less weight with my right arm, but that is just silly and I don't want to risk hurting my left arm, too. I am trying to use my left arm, primarily for all things but I am not coordinated or ambidextrous in any way. The only thing I could do equally well with either hand is smoke a cigarette and that's not really helpful. :) It kills me to rest but I have to do it. Watching people lift while I'm on the treadmill makes me jealous but absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Good choice. If you don't listen to your body, it will definitely bite back. So Proud of your progress!

Good choice, although I know it sucks. Try some PT to help it along

So for my “golf elbow” which is the opposite of tennis elbow, I wore this little strap with a pad that pressed on the tendon during movement and helped. Supposed to wear it in the outside for tennis elbow. Rest first though.

Probably a good plan. Take care and hope your elbow heals quickly!💜💜

I don't have any appreciation for injuries. I, like everyone else try to avoid them but they sometimes happen. Do what you can do as best as you can until you recover...

I totally know what you mean I am so right dominant I couldn't even smoke with my left hand or I'd burn myself.. praying you have a speedy recovery.

Kat, I did too. I had an elbow sleeve and the part that velcroed to my upper forearm really helped. I hope it gets better soon, Princesa!

I'm right there with you on lifting injuries, You're smart to let yourself heal. Whatever you lose by not lifting you'll get back in a couple weeks.

Very smart. Think long term.

Absolutely a good plan, even if it's hard for you. Give your body a chance to heal ❤

You can still do legs and abs!😊

Lol gage has a point..... there’s always leg days 😈

Superman, I can't believe someone beat you to the punch. Yes. Legs and abs can for sure be done. But I'll wait. 😆🤷🏻‍♀️

It alright dp! I’m glad someone other than me is busting your balls about leg days. In fact I hope one day everyone does it 🤣

Sorry to hear you are in pain DP. I should private message you and describe some of the exercises I did that definitely helped to heal my tennis elbow. I’ve been through it and I know you’re frustrated. But don’t feel you can’t lift, you can still do core and legs and I know you hate leg day but don’t just do cardio. And sorry to blow your whistle but I don’t think your elbow will heal in one week. It takes a while so be patient. Don’t rush it though, seriously, it’s better to let it heal now than to worsen the injury. I couldn’t even carry a dinner plate from the kitchen to the dining room table. It’s the worse burning pain and sensation ever. I hope yours is just a new thing and it does heal quicker than I did. I’ll say a prayer for you my dear. Love ya. ❤️🙏

I only said a week because I ended up not going to the gym 4 days in a row and it was so much better...then I blew it by going too heavy too fast.

Smart move. Let it rest, let it heal.

Good plan, lady! You are a lifting addict, so when YOU say it's got to stop for a bit, I know you are really hurting. Rest for the poor limb is good! ❤️
