hey guys been having alot of trouble with my left elbow for the past 4 months, I had 3 fights back to back so didnt have much of a chance to rest it, now after my last match I gave it a good rest its much better but still not perfect, I had an injection in the muscle and just went to see a specialist and she has told me its tennis elbow. the only time it really hurts is if I miss with the jab and it fully locks out i get a very sharp painful pinching feeling, the lady said its not a bad case and it will fully heal with the exercises she has given me.. so working hard with them now just wondering if anybody has experienced this problem from locking out the jab? and i noticed eubank jr always wears a elbow support.. possibly something similar? any help appreciated thanks
i play raquetball 3x a week competitively.....i also shadow box here and there....have no problem with my jab(left) ...but when i throw a straight right with full extension i have some discomfort in my right elbow....nothing major that makes me wanna go see a doctor...but i can tell there may be some sort of issue......been like this for some time now though
The twisting snap at the end of the jab is what causes it. I have had it before. Rest is the best exercise to cure it.
check your technique and make sure you are not hyper extending your arm. Maybe shorten your punches so that does not happen :good
