[@sharon94503]

Although a professional, I believe that he should include pertinent information such as when BEGINNING these stretches & exercises, you should go slower and be a bit more precise. And instead of jumping straight into a 2 lb. weight, start lighter or with nothing at all for the first week. Rushing your muscles and tendons to stretch is how we got here in the first place. Make it a gradual weight increase. Just my opinion.

[@Mussu-ty1tc7zi8n]

[@Necev]

my elbow is burning i don't know why but i'm not active. after i watched few times i choose to try all these exercises. i have cerebral palsy and i'm very inactive and thats wrong. the only way i weigh down my elbows is when i'm shifting myself from wheelchair to sofa.

[@stephenwestwood8705]

Excellent! I had severe pain in elbow tendons to the extent that I couldn't sleep. I had physio on Monday, used Voltarol for 3 days and took 2 doses of Ibuporofen on Wednesday. This combined with Dr Peng's exercises means that by Friday I am almost pain free and my arm is back to almost full mobility. Thank you so much!

[@lindamortimore5274]

I have RA. Wrists are mostly fused. Rotation limited. Not elbow swelled and muscles feel tight around elbow joint. What can I do?

[@charlesbrie8711]

Some of these exercises increase the pain. Should I still attempt said exercises? Thank you.

[@JeffreyPengMD]

Best to discuss with your health care provider, good luck

[@atoz126]

How long does it take for the pain to subside?

[@beenamenon6535]

I started doing this exercise from today as I got a sudden pain in my elbow that radiates to the wrist and shoulder. Hopefully this will help.

[@MyStyle-sb2kv]

Is it helped to you?
