Elbow Pain Rehab Video - Brachioradialis Strain

THIS HURTS!

What hurts...: Brachioradialis muscle deep to where it comes across the bicep. It hurts if I supinate my forearm or try to do any kind of bicep curl. On bad days it hurts to lift a glass of water. It hurts to do pull ups, curls, rowing. It hurts a little less to bench press or shoulder press. It does not hurt to do reverse curls (palms down pronated flexion at elbow).
How you hurt it...: Cable rowing (back exercise).
When you hurt it...: about 2 months ago.
Your pain level (1 is low, 10 is high pain): 5.
Your age and overall health...: 48 years old. Generally good health and athletic. I have miscellaneous other injuries, a cervical disc herniation, a hamstring pull, a rotator cuff injury, but I have been working with them and they are less bothersome than the brachioradialis problem.
Any other information you feel is relevant...: I had stopped rowing, pullups etc and started to do deadlifts instead. Then came the hamstring pull. I've been working the forearm extensor and flexor muscles instead of curling to see if that helps but it's too early to tell.

YOUR INJURY COULD BE...

Brachioradialis Strain

REHAB YOUR INJURY BY...

Stretching: Straighten your elbow and pull your hand straight down. Hold the stretch for 15 seconds and release - do this 2 to 3 times. Go to the point of pain and not beyond - more is not necessarily better. Make sure you stretch both directions and both arms.
Massage: Work across and down the muscle fibers that are sore. As you keep working the tender areas, the pain should decrease over time.
Icing: 15 minutes for 2 to 3 times per day, with at least one hour in-between.
Strengthening: Use household items such as a screwdriver or hammer. With the item in your hand, bend your elbow and rotate your wrist right and left. Repeat this 15 times for 2 times. Once you are comfortable with this, then straighten your elbow and repeat. Then increase the weight accordingly as you feel stronger.

I'm experiencing the same pain but my wrist also has pain...I can feel either the nerve or tendon all the way down to my outer (near pinky) wrist. I can also hear a clicking that wasn't there before. I initially injured the wrist/forearm in jiu jitsu by holding onto a collar too long. HELP!

Thank you Doc that helped me immensely! I've already noticed a decrease in the pain when doing the exercises with you.
