Hey guys I hate to do this but I have to pull out of my superfight with the Pred next week. My elbow has been killing me as of late and I recently got it hurt again. I was rolling with a new guy and he did one of those grab what ever he sees and crank as hard as you can. I didnt think it would be a problem but I can fully extend it right now. I took a pic of it with my camera phone, if someone can host it for me I'll email it to them. Thanks
thanks balze you'll have mail in 3 seconds
That's one swollen "bow" yo!
Thanks blaze!
That bump is my elbow, or to be technically I think its called my ulna.
I feel for ya. I just got a cortisone shot in my elbow a couple of weeks ago. It's been hyperextended a few times over the last 18 years. It got really crunched 3 years ago and I had 3 avulsion fractures in it. Then about a year ago a newbie did the exact same thing (cranked the hell out of it) after I let him have the stinking move. I've got some arthritis in the joint and the "all the time" pain got bad enough that I went in for the injection.
I rested it for two weeks after the shot and now it feels great! We'll see how long it lasts. I start tapping the moment someone starts working a lock on my left arm now. I just don't want any more stress on the joint if I can help it.
Good luck with your recovery.
The bump is technically called your olecranon. It's the very end of your ulna. Several things can go wrong when your get your arm hyperextended. There is a shallow depresion in your humerus that the tip of your olecranon fits in when your arm is straight. If it (the tip of the olecranon) gets ground into the fossa (depression) it can snap off. If you haven't already, you should get an xray.
I used to think all armlocks just resulted in soft tissue injuries and would heal in 4-6 weeks. Now I know better. I ended up with an olecranon fracture and a fracture of the coronoid process of the ulna. Injuries are at least a great way to learn anatomy.
Heal up fast man, good luck!
My arm won't bend straight now that it's been hyperextended to many times. Hurts like a bastard.
Quack quack
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope you have a speedy recovery.. and cant wait to see this match soon
Holy shit, you'll remember that when you are 70 on cold mornings.
