Hi,
I recently started doing tricep pushdowns with a rope and its given me
sharp elbow pain on the outside of my elbow. It was my own fault as I
started on a much too high weight and was jerking the rope (I know I
was stupid!!!)
So I have stopped this exercise and the pain is very very slowly going
away (Ive also seen an osteo). Its suprising how long it takes
considering the pain isnt actually that bad - more of a niggling pain
now when I press the area hard with my finger. Its been almost 2
weeks so far.
My question is, should I continue doing other exercises which I know
gave me no pain before AND which dont give pain now, or should I stop
any exercises which use the triceps.
For eg, bench press I can still do with the same weight I was using
with no problems. I tested it just once a few days ago.
The reason I ask is that I know some injuries actually get better
quicker by doing exercises on them which dont hurt. I had back pain a
few years ago from sitting at work and was advised by my osteo to do
some back exercises. The exercises didnt hurt and of course
strengthened the muscles which resulted in the back pain going.
I dont know if an injury such as this would benefit from some non-
isolation tricep work. I know I have injured the tendon which is why
Im more nervous of doing any excercise on it.
Im happy to wait till its healed completely if thats the best way
though.
Regards,
Scott >> Stay informed about: elbow pain - should I still do exercises that done hurt |

No, not so stupid...it's essentially the same motion as a tennis
backhand, so if you'd been playing tennis you would have occasioned
the same issue....

Dude, I got the same problem -- more on the inside of the elbow,
though -- and that's since June, doing good ol' fashioned pull-ups and
chin-ups! And you're right, it ain't much of a pain, but a real
weakness to me...can't lift like I used to, all easy-going and
whatnot...gotta be extra mindful now, and carefully slow....

You should be all right with other exercises. For example, my left
elbow/biceps problem made doing dumbbell curls and other similar
motions real problematic, but doing hammer curls was all right!

That's interesting. I guess it's all about the angle being worked....
Go ahead and bench away. Some people around here don't think the
bench press is really about triceps, anyway!

Heck, my orthopedic surgeon told me to stop running on account of my
spinal hernia. Did I listen to him? Of course not. (WTF is health
insurance good for, anyway -- you wait almost two hours to see a guy
for five minutes' worth of "stop doing that, don't worry!") And now,
while I can't run like I used to, I'm running a lot better than I was
able to when the doc told me to give it up!

Well, therapeutic exercises should be all right. Didn't the doc
prescribe physical therapy for you?
If you don't mind the wait, then go along with conventional medical
wisdom. Otherwise, listen to your body and see what it's willing to
put up with.
Good luck. The guessing game really sucks, I know.

If I were you, and if your doctor approves, I'd go back to the exercise
in question with a very light weight and 100% good form and see how you
do. If it works, keep the good form, be very slow about adding the
weight but don't give up on it. Sometimes this sort of thing will
actually help - if you feel the exercise is good for you and your goals,
of course.

#1, I saw that the resident troll, bigot, dolt, fat ass etc. PAW attempted
to give advice. PLEASE ignore him. You have pain for a reason. There is a
difference between pain and soreness. Too many people think that they have
to kill themselves in the gym to make progress and subscribe to the "no
pain, no gain" school. That is NOT a good idea!  I think that you are
better off taking the time you need to heal correctly. If you can do the
compound movements that involve the triceps like bench pressing and don't
feel any pain, then you are fine with them. Have you tried any different
triceps exercises? Can you do press downs with a bar instead of the rope?
Have you tried bench dips? If you don't know what they are, you basically
take 2 flat benches, put your feel on one and your hands behind your back on
the other and dip down. Unless you are competitive athlete, power lifter,
bodybuilder etc. and have a competition, you will always be far better off
to take the time to heal. A seemingly small injury like this can turn into
something that could bother you for the rest of your life if you don't heal
correctly.

Thanks to everyone for there advice. I think I will do a few things
1. Wait until the pain has gone before I do any tricep work except
very light work.
I did some very light work yesterday (push down with a bar - 15 reps
and could have done another 5 or more) and I think it helped (thanks
Steve - it was your suggestion more or less).
2. Once the pain has gone I will take it easy even on exercises that
didnt hurt for about 2-3 weeks just to make sure, ie I will go back to
bench press with a bit less weight than before but up the reps.
3. Attempt the rope (or maybe bar) pushdowns again but much lighter
and more reps and let the tendons and ligaments build up gradually to
catch up with my muscles. If I feel the slightest pain once I start
these again I will just stop and try a different exercise instead or
maybe just rely on the benching.
I reckon another week or two and the pain will be gone. Four weeks is
just so long for a tiny thing like this - oh well.

Have the same problem for about a year now, dumbbell curls are a real
problem, but hammer curls no pain at all. Working around the yard is
the only other time it hurts, when I do that certain motion that
mimics the dumbell curl, also I have problems twisting off the cap of
jars with my right hand, hits the same elbow area. Been throught the
PT without any help, suppose getting shot up with cortisone is next,
but I have been able to work around it for the most part. >> Stay informed about: elbow pain - should I still do exercises that done hurt |

If you're finding pain on the inside of your elbow using dumbells, I
recommend you stop using dumbells and use only barbells. The reason
is that when you use dumbells, you have a further range of motion
which puts more strain on your supporting joints, tendons and
ligaments but switching out to barbells you will have a limited range
of motion. Pain on the inside of your elbow is golfers elbow and pain
on the outside of your elbow is tennis elbow. For more information,
check out http://www.tenniselbowtips.com

That's funny...I would have thought dumbbells more "ergonomic" than
barbells...sure, I guess they don't have as wide or extended a range
of motion possible...but barbells introduce potential wrist issues,
don't they? >> Stay informed about: elbow pain - should I still do exercises that done hurt |

If you're developing tennis elbow then doesn't that mean that you're
developing power in your big muscles which your elbows are finding it
difficult to handle? If so, then if you switch to a more constrained
exercise regime you'll be able to develop even more big muscle
strength without addressing the elbow weakness problem. Isn't that
increasing the danger that one day you'll carelessly do a strong lift
in an awkward position and do yourself a nasty injury?
