What's wrong with my arm?

@Roosh- did the doctor mention if the tendinitis would go away w/the therapy sessions or will it just ease the pain?

What's wrong with my arm?

Tricep 'tenditis' or tendinopathy can easily be treated by a good physical therapist.

Just lay off heavy dips or narrow grip bench press or anything requiring excessive tricep activation in the meantime.

Roosh, you want to 'eccentrically' strengthen the tricep to allow the tendon to heal.

Do this tricep stretch reguarly

Gentle eccentric strengthening can include these:

But focus on only LOWERING the arm from an extended position

When the irritation settles give gentle dips and pushups a shot:

Again focus is on the eccentric component.

As long as deadlifts aren't painful they should be fine.

Also do plenty of soft tissue work on the tricep muscle to ease the load through the tendon

If you're not growing, you're dying.
