davycummings | Bicep Tendon Pain | 03-04-2011 @ 22:45 | |
he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | I have been getting a lot of this again recently. It is not the bicep its self, it is pain right in the crook of the elbow where the tendon runs. Truck pull today really inflamed it, log cleans, stones and wide grip squats also make it flare up. Any advice on managing it? I find putting onsome tiger balm before I train helps a bit, but hoping there is more I can do | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | I used to get this pain when doing overhead work. Doing elbow flexor work like curls sorted it out almost immediately. | ||

But got deep tissue release on the bicep, and upper forearm plus the tendons in the elbow. Also doing more light barbel curls and db curls seem to get the blood rushing around the area. But in the first instance icing helped afterwards. And doing sone self treatment on the sore area with your thumb helped too. I mind Wadley suffered from this too. | ||

I tried them and it helped for squats, but was no use for log and stones. | ||

Almost BDFPA WM champ. Member 2035, 112 posts SQ 160, BP 107.5, DL 212.5480.0 kgs @ 68kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 04.04.2011 @ 09:15 AM by filthhounds Would make an effort to self massage the area twice (include the upper forearm) a day for about 10 minutes (use your Tiger balm). Also try and roll the tendon with a small piece of PVC pipe. Ice might not be a great idea as tendons tend to have a poor blood supply. Try not to irritate the area. Expect around 5 weeks to heal. | ||

Thing thinks he can decide what goes here. He cant Member 354, 1452 posts | I feel your pain mate, I've got this at the minute and have had so many times before, annoying as much as anything else. Try wrapping a tennis elbow support tightyl around your upper forearm, has helped me in the past, but strangely not helping at the minute. You can get them from most chemists. | ||

Expect around 5 weeks to heal. id second that and put some heat on it too to improve the blood flow to the area, it will help heel the tendon and ease the pain. | ||

The tennis elbow type strap on the forearm worked in the past with squats, so may try it again. It is no use for stones though. Will try the massaging and may get a sport therapist to have a rub there when I have some spare cash | ||
