I actually had some muscles in the forearm flip.
The only thing I did that we can think of is rolling 4 balls of yarn last friday. I woke up saturday with a huge knot on my elbow and the mucles in the forearm were bulging huge. I continued to work all weekend yet iced it down 4-5 hrs a day.
I went to the Dr. yesterday and he thought the elbow was dislocated for it looked horrible and his examination was something else.. nasty. Have a golf ball literally under the skin and the whole arm is massive. Have trouble even moving it and twisting or turning it. Been icing it down 4-5 hrs a day with no feeling in it..
The x-rays came out ok what they could see yet still waiting for the final result. Its not tennis elbow per the Doctor but the muscles flipped and the tendon and muscles connecting to the elbow have tears in them. OWWEY.
I have to wear a tight tennis elbow band to force the knot to go down and force the muscles to not move. I was so frustrated lastnight I was in tears. I have to use massive doses of mucle relaxers and anti-inflammatories and suppose to take the next three days off work.. I told him I cant do that. but do have today off work... I took the note to use if I need it. I am so tired of having muscle issues.. so very tired.
Thank God I was able to change my work schedule a bit to every other day for the rest of the week and have to look at the bright side that I am not in a cast or undergoing surgery.
Please keep me in your thoughts that it heals and through physical therapy and massage I wont have to undergo any procedures.
This is what I get for beeing a sweety and making baby blankets.
