b40rt Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Most cases that i see, and i see a growing amount are due to a Kyphotic posture which sadly we're prone to in trials Kyphosis SiteAs the head moves forward and the shoulders pronate it causes problems with the radial nerve. It runs from cervical 7 and 8 in the neck and can sometimes be attributed to radial tunnel syndrome rather than tennis elbow . In most cases i see its usually a little of both issues. Mobilize the nerve using some stretches, place the arm against a wall with the wrist extended and stretch it within pain free range, next move around into further positions in order to floss the nerve. Its also worth stretching Pec Major and Minor and looking at the alignment of the neck. Try to rest it and build up slowly and it should be fine in no time. Hope that makes some sort of sense. I have suffered T E / R T S in both arms for years. Have been taking cod liver oil which seems to help. Dont know if its all in the heed.

zippy Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 A single Potassium supplement everyday seems to help me with "arm pump" and fingers and wrist cramping up. Ya see alot of trials riders eating bananas, they got potassium. A couple years ago I came off a 4ft drop with WAY too much gas and landed on rear wheel dern near vertical and then the front tire whipped itself to the ground, kinda "cracked the whip" with my arms. Elbows hurt for 8 months to a year. Tried the little velcro band things on the forearm they kinda helped but not much. I ended up just dealing with it and trying to take it easy on the elbows. Eventually they just got better. I guess that is similar to tennis elbow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil king Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I've had tennis elbow in both arms. I injured the left elbow at work and it took 3 years to almost completely go away. When I started riding trials I hurt the right elbow and have aggrivated the left one every now and then. I have found that massaging the tendon with the finger tips and exercise to be the cure. Do a search on lateral epicondilitas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
