O the pain
A friend got a little too rough, and hyperextended my elbow. It's been painful (but less so) for weeks. Anyone have any advice on how to ease the pain so I can get back to lifting weights? The range of motion in my arm is limited, and any kind of downward pressure on the joint (like holding a dumb bell) is quite painful. I've tried icy-hot (rub, patches and wraps), ice packs, heat packs, ibu-profun, stretching...am I just stuck until it heals?
Second [easier] question : I just started running. I'm naturally not a very "runner"-ish person, but I decided it was finally the time to give it a shot. MY CALVES HURT. Not my thighs, my knees...the top of my calves are under constant, CONSTANT tension. Will they adjust?
