TweetA tendon in my right thumb gives me a problem (from keyboard and mouse use) ibuprofen helps. What sucksa is it takes forever to heal. Tendons have poor blood flow. :-(
Use it as little as possible and 1,600mg a day ibuprofen QID

can you post an anatomy pic of the area and point out what part is effected? I am just curious...

Tweeti would post pictures but my account is messed up.... If I could get it fixed so I can see pictures I would be more than happy to do that. Basically its the tendon of the triceps (long head) and part of the medial brachialis. Tendons actually will never fully heal either. They form scar tissue which ends up, obviously, much weaker than the original structure.

I looked on the net and saw some pics and descriptions. I have the same thing right now funny enough. I irritated it last week doing clean and presses. I got out of form a little cleaning the bar (funky wrist extention). I have to lay off any wrist extention movements (dumbell laterals, hammer curls, etc...). Use ice and ibuprofen. A little stretching would probably be good as well.

Sound like a classic example. You can test it by holding on to a chair or something heavy (with your palm twoards the floor) and extending your wrist. If it hurts then thats a positive for lateral epicondylitis. Cozen's test is a good orthopedic test as well.

TweetDeadlifts were a little irritating to it, but I still pulled 500 (no straps). I held it at the top for 10 seconds too.

The first day I strained it, my fingers were swollen. I thought that was a little strange.
