So I got my tai chai ball about 10 days ago. Been doing daily rolls that you suggested, along with some stretches another video suggested, and for the first time in almost a year I am pain free. I really appreciate the help!
Armwrestling training is ideal! Watch videos of Pro Armwrestlers like Devon Larratt training. He has 3 basic exercises he does and he's 48 yrs old with concrete elbows.
@@OcraMedHealth hey from Australia love ya vids, more than a month ago injured my left side, believe was during reverse curls which I've done many times over 15+ years of body building , cant seem to get rid of it backed off going too heavy , seems like it doesn't want to heal.
Man, it's getting ridiculous. Bicep tendonitis, impigments, rotator cuff tears, quadriceps tendonitis and now this shit? And who said lifting weights was healthy habit?
I know the video is old, however I have to say thank you! You nailed it with what's been driving me nuts for 4 months and the reason I had to stop training. Well done sir.
MAN you're my saviour!!!! I've had this for almost 2 years (it only happened when I did bendover rows tho) and had to leave the gym 7 months ago because whenever I tried to do dumbbell curls, there was a burning sharp pain in my left forearm sometimes near the wrist sometimes near the elbow. I've been to 5 doctors and none of them could diagnose it and I was depressed for nearly 5 months because I couldnt work out at all and the pain started to occur even when I was lifting light weights like when I was doing chores but its only 6 days I've started applying the technique you suggest on the video and the pain is literally gone. I just did 3 sets of dumbbell curls with 0 pain THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Massage helps but let me give you the cure. First why is there pain? If you use a computer mouse or do pull ups you are pronating the wrist. As you move the mouse around or do a pull up you start to irritate the radial nerve that’s located under the brachioradialis sheath. Rubbing it just pushes blood out of the area and temporarily numbs it. After long periods of mouse use or pull ups the muscles weaken causing more pressure on the nerve. This generally isn’t tendonitis, it’s nerve pain especially when you feel it traveling down your forearm. Rehab is easy. You’ll need an 8# sledgehammer or a 2# hammer if you’re not very strong. You can use bands attached to a rod as well. Even a broom. Sit and rest your affected arm on your knee. Have the weighted end of the rod or hammer on the inside of your thighs. Now rotate the weight up and then down. Repeat 5 sets of 8-10 reps every other day. You’ll see progress after just a few sets as we are talking about millimeters of space to untrap the nerve. Lastly don’t stretch the wrist. I know it may feel good, but stretching the wrist will make it worse. Finally stretch your biceps. Find a door jam and straighten your arm and and lean into it. That’s to help make space around the radial nerve. You may have a forearm brace, get rid of it. You’re only adding pressure to the nerve. If you must use it, place it 6”s from the elbow. The massage in this video is good and will help, but if you want a cure do what I posted. It will take a few months to be cured depending on how bad it is. You can hit up a good orthopedic surgeon and get a cortisone shot in the forearm which will speed things up quite a bit on the pain front and isn’t very expensive.
I've watched several of these videos regarding the Brachioradialis muscle and I must say that way you've explained this is phenomenal! This is an excellent presentation!
If you work it pretty hard then I would just do it once a day. It's normal to only get temporary relief at the beginning. Keep at it for the next 2-3 weeks. Keep me posted on your progress.
had this pain for 2 months now. its the worst when i sit infront of my pc with my arm on the keyboard and then reaching for something. weirdly enough i dont have pain even when i workout heavily on pull day.
because I couldn't fully extend my arm I thought I had damaged my tendon but knowing its just the Brachiordialis muscle is such a relief, thanks for the advice
Dr Joe I know it was the wide grip pull ups that got my forearms inflamed a bit. If I only did chin-ups and neutral grip from now on would that be a good option for letting the brachioradialis heal while continuing with my conditioning schedule?
😭 I’ve always been able to do myofascial release on my muscles but for some reason my pain in this area has been going on for a year. This technique helped me in just a couple of days. Unbelievable!!!!
I injured mine doing my first back workout last night. Woke up and can’t move my arm hurts so bad 😿 update: just did this and it helped so so much thank you!
@@MERALACXBACKINGPANyou had a thai chi ball? I don't have one and mine is inflamed and painful, I can't even fully open my arm and it's been 4 days. The first couple of days was locked all the way up to 90°.
I am currently doing OT for this issue but it didn’t happen from exercising. I think it started due to constant use at work. I work anywhere from 85-100 hours every 2 weeks and have for months. I continue to have the most discomfort when I use my mouse, even though I now have a vertical mouse. I’m hoping the OT will help. Might have to incorporate the tissue work. Thanks for the explanation 😊
Definitely a good explanation on this topic. Been having brachioradialis pain in both arms over six months now. Been working out consistently nearly 11 years now and had my share of overuse injuries. But always something new comes up and it is a good time to sit down and reconsider the workouts to heal. I have been doing lots of those exercises you mentioned, and also lots of dumbbell flys and dumbbell presses. I find that those too put lots of stress on the brachioradialis muscle.
I have a question, doc! I basically have pain in this area (brachioradialis) while bench pressing, i am taking a break for a week or two from lifting, and performing the ball thing which you suggested, and applying ice there I just wanted to ask, will this ever heal or this problem ll always slightly exist? I am scared because weight lifting is literally what keeps me going and sane these days 😭 And bench press is my favourite exercise. Regardless, thanks for making videos like these, amazing content doc! I hope you and your fam are safe and doing well!!
couple of questions: 1) is this what we refer to as ''tennis elbow'' ? because i thought tennis elbow is pain in forearm extensors tendons 2) What are your recommendations on training in order not to cause that again? I am thinking of 1 to 1 ratio of pull ups to chin ups.
This is not actually tennis elbow. I have a video specifically for tennis elbow. This video goes over fascial release of the brachioradialis which is somewhat different. Once this muscle is feeling better, you can begin strengthening it with exercises such as hammer curls.
Doctor, what if I WANT my brachioradialis muscle in my forearm to grow. If not over-hand pull-ups or bent-over rows, what are some safe exercises I can do to get that muscle to grow without reactivating my tendinitis?
THANK SOOOO MUCH I AM FINALLY ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY ARM!!! BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE FOUND WITHOUT A DOUBT!! THANK YOU FOR GREAT ADVISES!!!
Hi, stumbled upon your video after being introduced to terms like "knots" and undergoing a quick myofascial release on my brachioradialis by a hand OT specialist at my work place. The manuevre she did requires the use of two hands and I am wondering if this tai chi ball can be incorporated into my regular routine and as a preventative tool as well. Is there such a thing as too frequent or too much (I understand too much pressure can be damaging) of tai chi ball massage? Also, could you speak to the uses of the mini v/s regular sized tai chi ball that I am seeing on your website? Thanks for an informative video!
Yes, you can perform to much if you are doing it every day with a lot of pressure. Sometimes it's best to perform every other day. The mini is slightly smaller and softer than the regular size. Both work well for the forearm muscles.
I love to do pull ups, I was doing 50-100 a day and my forearm has been hurt for over a month + from it. I’ve been trying to work thru it. It sucks bc it’s a lingering pain.
Forearm/elbow tendonitis can linger for months. Avoid exercises/activities that directly aggravate it, lots of ice, and work some of the fascial release techniques on my video. It will eventually go away. Hang in there!
I'm overweight and is learning to do pull ups and chin ups🤧 after training assisted pull ups for a month my right arm's brachioradialis hurts. it's hurting for a week now🥺🥺🥺
Thanks for the video. I get a strange pain in my forearm when I do hammer curls, brachial focused work. This concerns me because as I do the hammer curl, I see a visible popping coming from what looks to be under the vein in my left forearm. I am really lean now so everything is very visible. I can curl with a barbell, I can work my back with no issues. But hammers are very weak and I have this strange visible pop I can see. Any thoughts on what this is? The formarm is also a bit sore. I am typing this before finishing your video, so hopefully this helps me. It’s very frustrating with this injury. I probably should lay off brachial work for a while but I’m so stubborn. Thanks for the help and I’ve needed to use lighter weight because of it.
I am 52, my sleep is not good and that is why i am not recovering between sessions. For the Deadlift i use the hook grip with an olympic bar (Which is thinner than a powerlifting bar) and i made calluses on my two thumbs. On 29th of July 2020 i had to attempt a PR for the Deadlift. It was a very hot day at my home gym and i was very tired. But i had to complete the workout for that day. Even for the warm-up sets it was painful to hold the bar with the hook grip. For the work-set (PR) when i tried to lift the weight, my back rounded and i decided to drop the bar before it got over the knees. I supposed that this happened because i was tired or/and because of the grip not being strong enough and i could not focus on my back. After resting for 6 minutes i attempted a second set with a mixed grip. The lift was successful with good technique and with no pain. BUT the next day i had some issues around the elbow of the hand that was supinated for the DL. I don't have severe pain. When i bend the hand more than 90 degrees i feel discomfort and i can't point exactly were this comes from (Lower bicep or upper forearm) and i also feel discomfort at the front upper and back upper forearm. After a few days i did my normal Bench pressing routine. The next day after that i felt more irritated. I rested for 2 weeks without doing anything but walking. The first days of the 2 week period, i felt better when bending the arm (More than 90 degrees) but after that it was not getting better. It remaind the same. So i decided to get back to training. I used lighter weights (About 60%) that made me feel some discomfort but not much pain, for a set of 5 reps and trying to add 5 pounds in a Novice Linear Progression. Some hours after each workout and the next day it gets more irritated, but after one more day it gets into the same situation as before working out. That's my strategy. That's how i keep on going for the last 10 days. What do you think about that. Can you tell me with your experience what is the problem and what to do? I have not been to a doctor yet, because the only doctor's we have on this Greek island are Shitty Doctors that will tell me to stop training! The next days i will get a diagnosis and will update you with that.
I have been injured for about 6 months now. Pain in my elbow, inside and outside. All cause of arm wrestling 1 time. I still go to the gym, i try to not overload it but i just want it to go away. Anyone with experience here? I would really appreciate it! (im not into the sport of arm wrestling, just did it with a friend and i thing I just overloaded my elbow way to much... The thing is i don't really feel it when im actually working out, but always after exercising when my body is cooling down. But ALSO when i just have a rest day, didn't do any exercise or anything with my arm. Even then i have pain...
Get your arm straight in front of you and make a fist then point down with your fist and point up without moving your arm then point up but with you hand and then pull it towards you for 30 secs you don t feel the elbow but is still gonna get rid of the pain welcome
I've had a problem with my arm for 4 1/2 years now and have been mins-diagnosed with tennis elbow and I will be having an MRI - if there were issues with my brachioradialis do you think this would show on the MRI? I will be buying a ball and trying the exercise you have demonstrated. Thanks for your videos!
Sorry to hear about your arm. Unless it is significant, fascial adhesions in the muscle probably won't show up on the MRI. Good luck and keep me posted on your recovery.
I have had issues for like 3 months now, one of my arms i can curl 45lb dumbells easily, the other arm i can't curl a rockstar energy drink. How long does this injury last? contemplating going to a physical therapist
It can go on for a while sometimes. Other times it can clear up with some simple fascial release work. Going to a therapist is always a good idea. Good luck!
Listened, learned, used my thumb and knuckles to massage my Brachioradialis Fascias and within 5 minutes my pain is dialed down from a 12 to a 4. Thank you for this invaluable explanation and advice.
I get cramps there after my arms or back workout (usually after a hummer curls) whenever i move my elbow more than 90 degree (like trying to reach with the back of your neck for example you will bend your elbow) .. i can see the muscle twitches & I can't extend my arms back immediately
This makes so much sense. Thank you! This is what my chiropractor must be doing when he works on my tennis elbow. I always feel better after it. Seems similar to active release technique.
Hey dr joe. I'm wondering if you can have tendonitis without having muscle adhesions in that area. Years back I received cortisone for my elbow pain. I've been mostly pain free since but recently I started having that same sort of ache in my elbow. I massaged it out some but I don't seem to feel any type of knots or anything in my forearm, and all my pain seems to be just in the crook of my elbow. Thanks!
It all depends on the injury and what cause it. There may not be adhesions involved. However, with that being said, I often find scar tissue around those type of injuries. Best of luck!
I always thought I was doing something wrong with bicep curls. It turns the soreness is from my back row exercise where I lift the dumbbell with a hammer grip. I must be bringing the dumbbell up too high and it's putting a lot of stress on my brachioradialises.
Power cleans inflame my "elbow" and I'm wondering of there's a connection between inflamed brachioradialis and ulnar nerve entrapment or if you see them often coincident with the same types of "palms away" movements? I think I have both problems, but it's hard to sort them out when the pain is in "the elbow" and not super point specific.
Only way to really know the exact injury is to have it evaluated by a professional. Movements like cleans can definitely aggravate the brachioradialis.
I started doing a lot of dead hangs and farmer carries because it's been doing wonders for my upper back/neck/shoulders but started having pain in this muscle on my left arm for awhile now. Is rolling it out and massaging it the only solution? No stretches or targeted exercises to strengthen/fix this?
This is the first video I have seen of yours. I love the level of detail and science-based explanation. I will definitely check out your website. I have had this lingering pain just above and below my elbow, for probably a year and half, that makes hammer curls painful so I avoid them. Tonight I tried hammer curls with a slight rotation to workout the brachioradialis and they were basically impossible even with a very low weight (20 lbs). I have gone to PT for months and gotten zero results (we had assumed this was tennis elbow), but now I think the whole treatment regiment was based on a wrong diagnosis. So, two questions: Is there a good way to confirm that this is, in fact, from my brachiradialis? If you are familiar with gua sha, do you think that would be more or less effective than the techniques in this video? Thanks you very much for putting this out there!
The brachioradialis is a pretty easy muscle to palpate. Palpate around the muscle. If it's tight and tender then there's a good chance that it's a problem. Also, pain on hammer curls is a common issue. The techniques I demonstrate are ones that I instruct my patients on. I am familiar with gua sha but not trained to perform it. Therefore, I can't really answer that question. Good luck my friend!
Hi sir, I got this injury because of pulling up on ledges. However my physicians advised to immobilize the arm until any pain reduces. What do u think should I try this or just rest?
Damn the day I started doing reverse curls 😫 this sometimes doesn't even let me do any kind of pullups and am limited to barbell curls only. Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Thanks for the explanation! Over the summer I was super motivated with doing pullups...i got up to doing 85 consecutive, and i think that messed up my left forearm. I now experience pain when i perform bicep curls as well. I have stayed away from most excercises that cause pain, but it still seems to linger around. I've been massaging it nightly. Hopefully the pain goes away eventually as it's been around 2 months...
Has the pain gone now? I was doing pull-ups and all of a sudden there was a tear or something which sounded like tearing a paper on my forearm. It was almost a month ago and till today I can't do pullups, bicep curls, or anything that puts strain on Brachioradialis.
@@AmitKumar-te6vw ouch! Sorry to hear about your injury. As far as my injury, it took about a year and some months before the pain really went away. I use a compression arm sleeve that has been a life saver. Your injury may be more severe than what mine was, might want to get that looked at. Tendon injuries take a long time to heal. I constantly stretched it and messaged it.
@@AmitKumar-te6vw If you heard a pop my guy it could be a tendon partial/full tear you need to get that checked out so that's good if your planning to. As for Ronald's experience don't be discouraged for how long it took, he didn't mention that he did rehab/strengthening for what sounded like a case of chronic tendonitis and instead waited it out which could be why it took so long. Maybe read Overcoming Tendonitis by Steven Low.
Damn...I wish I would've found your videos a long time ago...was having issues with my arm for weeks and I Swear to GOD im feeling a million times better...guess I'll have to switch up my workouts now...thanks Doc.
Thanks for the explanation, I wonder if training planche would lead to a tight brachioradiolis? I have found out that when I straightened my left Forearm, the pain occurs in the joint which is head of radius. Will a tight brachioradiolis cause this pain to happen?
This explains why my injury happened.. The way I load my musical equipment into my rv with my bicep at a disadvantage.. I’ll start tuning my arm to help me lift safer... thanks
About 5 days ago I did hammer curls,push ups and bicep curls. The next day I noticed that I couldn't extend my left arm fully out and it hurt to try and hold up my arm . Currently I don't find it hard to hold my arm up anymore but I still can't stretch my arm out completely. And I guess my question is would you recommend I do these exercises or if this is something more serious and have to do something else. Sorry if my English isn't good
Well you should always have any injury examined by a doctor/therapist. If you have already done so, then I would suggest trying these techniques and see if they provide some relief. Only perform the ones that do not cause pain. Good luck my friend!
For unknown reasons, my right arm began hurting on the top side of the elbow and I couldn't fully straighten the arm. I got an MRI and it showed a partial tear in the bicep tendon at the "distal" end where at attaches at the elbow. That was more than a year ago and though presumably the tendon has healed, I still can't fully straighten that arm and it looks like the tendon has visibly thickened. It doesn't hurt anymore, but instead the brachioradialis muscle is really hurting and is constantly getting "injured." I'm thinking, because I can't fully straighten my arm because of the bicep tear, that must be preventing the brachioradialis from ever being fully stretched, and so it has possibly gotten tighter, and that might make it more susceptible to injury. Does that make any sense? I need to find a way of stretching it even though my arm won't fully straighten.
I sprained my elbow. I made a sudden fast movement with my elbow, and I got a shock or and instant pain. I had this pain for a while, but then it was gone. But now recently I decided to do sports again, and the pain is back. I tried to do push ups, and the pain came back, but not as painful as before. Just little bit. My question is, how can I exercise my elbow to make it stronger and get it back to "normal", so I can do push ups again.
The first thing you have to do is get rid of the pain before you can start training. If the techniques in the video don't help, you should see a good sports doctor/therapist in your area to treat it. Good luck.
Can u help me i feel pain in my bicep when i do push up but when i move my arm and all other things idont feel pain only in push ups i feel like my bycep is torn... Any suhestion
Excellent. Will try the tai chi ball, that neck thing looks great too. I'm an artist and a web designer, I think repetitive movements have messed up various muscles and It seems to be all about the fascia release, which can be difficult to get to everything just with my fingers or even a professional massage, i need the fascia release tools. thank you!
my doctor said I have tendonitis in my brachioradialis muscle so I'm going to try your methods for helping it. I also have a big knot up into the bicep muscle. Do you think this is all related to the brachioradialis muscle or could it be two different injuries?
Hard to say without examining the area. However, give the techniques a try from this video for the next 3-4 weeks and let me know how it progresses. Good luck!
I am experiencing some pain from the wrist to the middle finger area (on the left hand) and even inflamation near the knuckle. could it be due to the this muscle or is it ECRL? i don't do weight lifting but i always hold my mobile phone on the left while i type with the right hand.
I dont feel any pain when i do pull ups but i got the injury when i was training hand stand and now it also hurts when i curls, i bought the tai chi ball and i hope this will help me :)
Great video. I have had this chronically from doing wide pull ups (as you said) and I am to the point where I need to be more proactive in addressing it.
I injured myself using some long heavy branch loppers. Not sure if I injured the muscle or developed a tendonitis situation. Should I follow this for either or is there a way to tell the difference and treat differently. Maybe you have a video for the tendon issue. Mine hurts after my arm has been in one position for several minutes then i bend it or straighten it. Hurts pretty bad right down from the elbow and hurts when I hold any weight even a cell phone with my arm bent. I’m planning to get one of those percussion massagers to do the things your doing with that ball. Hopefully that’s a good idea.
I have 2 other videos that you might one to check out. One's on tennis elbow and the other is on golfers elbow (both of those injuries are more of a tendon inflammation type injury). Massage guns are great to use also. Check out my website www.ocramedhealth.com
I'm going to do this now i need that ball I've been in pain for 3 years now I've always thought it was my wrist but after this video this is exactly what i have my wrist cracks all the time really bad thanks so much
I have RA and this area is giving me the worst pain ever it’s really swollen and painful even my wrist is swollen I think it will be a reoccurring thing because of the Rheumatoid however I will use the massage techniques
Been having this exact issue from doing any cleans or front squats during my training. This was super informative and I believe this will help relieve my elbow pain so I can get back to doing some old lifting at the gym. Great video
I don't work out, but I have a lot of pain there, exactly as described, I do write and I have pain in my wrists as well. Maybe I should go see a doctor it hurts to write
Thank you very much for this video! I injured both forearms around six months ago at work when I was building and lifting swing benches over a period of a few weeks. Some were very large and awkward and I really strained to lift them. I could feel the forearms being injured some each day and when I started going back to the gym (I wasn't going during this time period of building swings), the pain increased more and more to the point that, I can't do any exercises now that involve arms, it seems--the pain is too much. And today, I have to go trim a bunch of trees with a sawzall for a few hours for a client. :( But at least I know what to do now to start treatment. Oh, I should mention that I experience a LOT of pain in the brachioradialis when I'm lying in bed, holding my phone with both hands so, I can't do that at all. So weird that a simple, static position like that can put so much strain on that forearm muscle.
@@muminaslantas205 Yes, actually. I had a massage therapist really dig their fingers in, up and down the top of the forearms and it made a huge difference! Massage therapists also have those blades they can use to break up scare tissue the therapist I had, just used their fingers and it worked.
Wow fantastic video. You explained this so well it definitely describes the pain I am feeling. It hurts the most when I do Upright Dumbbell Rows. But I also do Dumbbell Hammer Curls which don’t hurt too bad at all but I’m now worried about doing both of those exercises. Are either of those exercises I should stop?
After doing this I feel great for a few mins but then it hurts supper bad to extend my arm again 3 days ago I went to the gym for the first time in a few months and this pain started I struggle even just picking up my backpack off the ground what do I do ?
Simply awesome. Since watching this I’ve been deep massaging my left arm as described .... MASSIVE relief in the pain! I’ve been hitting pull-ups hard lately and thought I was going to have to stop. Simply the massage and some cool press has made such a relief! Thank you!
So are you saying we can go back to doing hammer curls after performing the techniques you said because for years now ,only in my left hand if I perform a hammer motion on the way down it feels like a soft snap and it drives me crazy because I can no longer do the motion ...even meadow rows
I have this injury now for 3 weeks from lifting weights. It's like a burning sensation from the back forearm (palms down up to the elbow joint) Will try these wonderful exercises! Hope it helps. Also you got a new subscriber sir. My English is bad sorry.
I've got this pain in the bottom of an oh press and bench press. Also if I just reverses body weight curl my arm in the top position. This helps but pain returns pretty fast.
I’ve been a carpenter for 25 years I have a ton of damage from over the years. I tried this exercise for five minutes and my left forum already feels better. Gonna do the right now! Thank you!
I’m having pain here on the outside of my left elbow only while doing bicep curls with dumbbells. I don’t have either of those tools so I guess I can’t do this Darn it
My pain is in the middle of of elbow and some what on the upper part of my forearm but mostly in the middle of the bent part of my elbow, I did it doing an excessive amount of bicep curls, but I feel it anytime I do a pushing or pulling motion
I get brachioradialis pain whenever I do squats or bench press when working with weights 80%+ of my 1rm. The pain becomes so unbearable that it limits my pressing power. I've tried looking up the symptoms online and cannot find a remedy. I want to be able to lift heavy and progress in weight but I feel like it's going to get worse. :(
Try the techniques from the video for a few weeks and let me know how it goes. Also, get the injury looked at by a doctor/therapist in your area. Good luck!
Hi GREAT video explains what i have got and how to treat it lots of knots . i was doing great and building up arms then woke up one day and Pain.. its got to the point where i cant train the bicep i lightend the load but pain , what exercise for the bicep can i do that wont aggravate the Brachioradialis ? working on legs more while this pain is treated
Just let "pain be your guide". Try various bicep exercises and see which ones feel good and skip the ones that seem to aggravate. Definitely keep training the lower body like you have been doing. Good luck!
People that cure cancer go missing or have accidents... so just be careful when the time comes to expose the cure do it very very publicly. There is a ton of money in cancer treatments they don't want a cure as sad as that truth is bud. God bless you though and do what you're called to do. 💯
So I got my tai chai ball about 10 days ago. Been doing daily rolls that you suggested, along with some stretches another video suggested, and for the first time in almost a year I am pain free. I really appreciate the help!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!
Armwrestling training is ideal!
Watch videos of Pro Armwrestlers like Devon Larratt training.
He has 3 basic exercises he does and he's 48 yrs old with concrete elbows.
@@OcraMedHealth hey from Australia love ya vids, more than a month ago injured my left side, believe was during reverse curls which I've done many times over 15+ years of body building , cant seem to get rid of it backed off going too heavy , seems like it doesn't want to heal.
@@leepopaz253 Give the fascial release techniques from the video some time. It can take several weeks. Good luck!!
@@OcraMedHealth ok sweet thanx mate.
👇 Ppl watching in pain
It hurts so badddd😢
😂this is the best comment while in pain
Ahhhhhhh
Man, it's getting ridiculous. Bicep tendonitis, impigments, rotator cuff tears, quadriceps tendonitis and now this shit? And who said lifting weights was healthy habit?
The muscles in my left forearm were so tight. I tried this and it was amazing! Thanks!
Glad I could help Jennifer!
I know the video is old, however I have to say thank you! You nailed it with what's been driving me nuts for 4 months and the reason I had to stop training. Well done sir.
Thanks! Hope you have a quick recovery!
It hurts.😭
I can’t even stretch my arms. God help me!
Good luck with it. Keep me posted on your progress!
I also came here in this video because I can't move my hand , so much pain in forearms
MAN you're my saviour!!!! I've had this for almost 2 years (it only happened when I did bendover rows tho) and had to leave the gym 7 months ago because whenever I tried to do dumbbell curls, there was a burning sharp pain in my left forearm sometimes near the wrist sometimes near the elbow. I've been to 5 doctors and none of them could diagnose it and I was depressed for nearly 5 months because I couldnt work out at all and the pain started to occur even when I was lifting light weights like when I was doing chores but its only 6 days I've started applying the technique you suggest on the video and the pain is literally gone. I just did 3 sets of dumbbell curls with 0 pain THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! Glad I could help my friend!
Doctor says take 5 days off working out. Dislocated my forearm muscle. Love this video. Dr is awesome 😎
Sorry to hear about your injury David! Heal quickly my friend!
Massage helps but let me give you the cure. First why is there pain? If you use a computer mouse or do pull ups you are pronating the wrist. As you move the mouse around or do a pull up you start to irritate the radial nerve that’s located under the brachioradialis sheath. Rubbing it just pushes blood out of the area and temporarily numbs it. After long periods of mouse use or pull ups the muscles weaken causing more pressure on the nerve. This generally isn’t tendonitis, it’s nerve pain especially when you feel it traveling down your forearm. Rehab is easy. You’ll need an 8# sledgehammer or a 2# hammer if you’re not very strong. You can use bands attached to a rod as well. Even a broom. Sit and rest your affected arm on your knee. Have the weighted end of the rod or hammer on the inside of your thighs. Now rotate the weight up and then down. Repeat 5 sets of 8-10 reps every other day. You’ll see progress after just a few sets as we are talking about millimeters of space to untrap the nerve. Lastly don’t stretch the wrist. I know it may feel good, but stretching the wrist will make it worse. Finally stretch your biceps. Find a door jam and straighten your arm and and lean into it. That’s to help make space around the radial nerve. You may have a forearm brace, get rid of it. You’re only adding pressure to the nerve. If you must use it, place it 6”s from the elbow. The massage in this video is good and will help, but if you want a cure do what I posted. It will take a few months to be cured depending on how bad it is. You can hit up a good orthopedic surgeon and get a cortisone shot in the forearm which will speed things up quite a bit on the pain front and isn’t very expensive.
Is there a place I can find a video of this?
Do a video pls this is not something you can explain in writing
Unable to understand it. Plz make a video
I avoided doing forearm workouts because my shit always hurts. Now it’s on FUCKING FIRE
I've watched several of these videos regarding the Brachioradialis muscle and I must say that way you've explained this is phenomenal! This is an excellent presentation!

HOLY $HIT! Just one try my forearm pain for 2 weeks is gone! 😍
That's awesome! Glad I could help!
@@OcraMedHealth it gives instant relief to me but after an hour or two the pain is back. 😂 how many times a day should i do this doc?
If you work it pretty hard then I would just do it once a day. It's normal to only get temporary relief at the beginning. Keep at it for the next 2-3 weeks. Keep me posted on your progress.
If you get it again you should go to the doctor after a couple of days bc your muscle could be dying

Glad I could help!
had this pain for 2 months now. its the worst when i sit infront of my pc with my arm on the keyboard and then reaching for something. weirdly enough i dont have pain even when i workout heavily on pull day.
because I couldn't fully extend my arm I thought I had damaged my tendon but knowing its just the Brachiordialis muscle is such a relief, thanks for the advice
Glad I could help! Good luck!
Same. Fortunate to comes across this video.
@@ryhawks1496 is it better by one week?
@@andrew-gd3mc Yes, I did a curling workout Monday night and it was better by Friday night
@@andrew-gd3mc did it happen to you?
Dr Joe I know it was the wide grip pull ups that got my forearms inflamed a bit. If I only did chin-ups and neutral grip from now on would that be a good option for letting the brachioradialis heal while continuing with my conditioning schedule?
Yes that should take the stress off of the brachioradialis. Good luck!
😭 I’ve always been able to do myofascial release on my muscles but for some reason my pain in this area has been going on for a year. This technique helped me in just a couple of days. Unbelievable!!!!

Which of these techniques?
Well I'll be! The hammering muscle?

@@MERALACXBACKINGPANyou had a thai chi ball? I don't have one and mine is inflamed and painful, I can't even fully open my arm and it's been 4 days. The first couple of days was locked all the way up to 90°.
I am currently doing OT for this issue but it didn’t happen from exercising. I think it started due to constant use at work. I work anywhere from 85-100 hours every 2 weeks and have for months. I continue to have the most discomfort when I use my mouse, even though I now have a vertical mouse. I’m hoping the OT will help. Might have to incorporate the tissue work. Thanks for the explanation 😊
Good luck Megan! Keep me posted!
Definitely a good explanation on this topic. Been having brachioradialis pain in both arms over six months now. Been working out consistently nearly 11 years now and had my share of overuse injuries. But always something new comes up and it is a good time to sit down and reconsider the workouts to heal. I have been doing lots of those exercises you mentioned, and also lots of dumbbell flys and dumbbell presses. I find that those too put lots of stress on the brachioradialis muscle.
Thanks for your feedback! Good luck!
2 years of shoulder pain finally gone. Thank you
I have a question, doc!
I basically have pain in this area (brachioradialis) while bench pressing, i am taking a break for a week or two from lifting, and performing the ball thing which you suggested, and applying ice there
I just wanted to ask, will this ever heal or this problem ll always slightly exist? I am scared because weight lifting is literally what keeps me going and sane these days 😭
And bench press is my favourite exercise.
Regardless, thanks for making videos like these, amazing content doc! I hope you and your fam are safe and doing well!!
Often, these type of injuries can resolve completely. Best of luck and keep me posted on your progress!
Great presentation, clear, logical, intelligent explanation of the problem and solution. Thank you so much!
You're welcome my friend!
Dr Rocks! I used a spiked ball that helped. Cannot find the Tai Chi ball. Thanks!
@@davidtodora6173 www.ocramedhealth.com
couple of questions:
1) is this what we refer to as ''tennis elbow'' ? because i thought tennis elbow is pain in forearm extensors tendons
2) What are your recommendations on training in order not to cause that again? I am thinking of 1 to 1 ratio of pull ups to chin ups.
This is not actually tennis elbow. I have a video specifically for tennis elbow. This video goes over fascial release of the brachioradialis which is somewhat different. Once this muscle is feeling better, you can begin strengthening it with exercises such as hammer curls.
finally i fond it i have been searching for months , thank you sooooooooooo much
Doctor, what if I WANT my brachioradialis muscle in my forearm to grow. If not over-hand pull-ups or bent-over rows, what are some safe exercises I can do to get that muscle to grow without reactivating my tendinitis?
Hammer curls are a great exercise. However, make sure you are fully recovered before starting to add a lot of weight. Good luck!
THANK SOOOO MUCH I AM FINALLY ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY ARM!!! BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE FOUND WITHOUT A DOUBT!! THANK YOU FOR GREAT ADVISES!!!
You're welcome! Glad I could help!
Hi, stumbled upon your video after being introduced to terms like "knots" and undergoing a quick myofascial release on my brachioradialis by a hand OT specialist at my work place. The manuevre she did requires the use of two hands and I am wondering if this tai chi ball can be incorporated into my regular routine and as a preventative tool as well. Is there such a thing as too frequent or too much (I understand too much pressure can be damaging) of tai chi ball massage? Also, could you speak to the uses of the mini v/s regular sized tai chi ball that I am seeing on your website? Thanks for an informative video!
Yes, you can perform to much if you are doing it every day with a lot of pressure. Sometimes it's best to perform every other day. The mini is slightly smaller and softer than the regular size. Both work well for the forearm muscles.
I love to do pull ups, I was doing 50-100 a day and my forearm has been hurt for over a month + from it. I’ve been trying to work thru it. It sucks bc it’s a lingering pain.
Forearm/elbow tendonitis can linger for months. Avoid exercises/activities that directly aggravate it, lots of ice, and work some of the fascial release techniques on my video. It will eventually go away. Hang in there!
@nikolaj 27 Yes. I got one of those massage guns that helped it.
I'm overweight and is learning to do pull ups and chin ups🤧 after training assisted pull ups for a month my right arm's brachioradialis hurts. it's hurting for a week now🥺🥺🥺
Work the video techniques. You may also need to back off the pull ups for a couple of weeks and let it heal. Good luck!
Thank you for this! Looks like i'm going to have to take a break from the muscle ups for a few weeks; a pity, but i'd rather be fully recovered.
Good luck! Keep me posted on your progress!
Thanks for the video. I get a strange pain in my forearm when I do hammer curls, brachial focused work. This concerns me because as I do the hammer curl, I see a visible popping coming from what looks to be under the vein in my left forearm. I am really lean now so everything is very visible. I can curl with a barbell, I can work my back with no issues. But hammers are very weak and I have this strange visible pop I can see. Any thoughts on what this is? The formarm is also a bit sore. I am typing this before finishing your video, so hopefully this helps me. It’s very frustrating with this injury. I probably should lay off brachial work for a while but I’m so stubborn. Thanks for the help and I’ve needed to use lighter weight because of it.
Let me know how the techniques from the video work after doing them for a couple weeks. Good luck!
Me watching this while in pain 😭😂
Me too, cant straighten my arm
Relate much 😭🙃😔😂
I am 52, my sleep is not good and that is why i am not recovering between sessions. For the Deadlift i use the hook grip with an olympic bar (Which is thinner than a powerlifting bar) and i made calluses on my two thumbs. On 29th of July 2020 i had to attempt a PR for the Deadlift. It was a very hot day at my home gym and i was very tired. But i had to complete the workout for that day. Even for the warm-up sets it was painful to hold the bar with the hook grip. For the work-set (PR) when i tried to lift the weight, my back rounded and i decided to drop the bar before it got over the knees. I supposed that this happened because i was tired or/and because of the grip not being strong enough and i could not focus on my back. After resting for 6 minutes i attempted a second set with a mixed grip. The lift was successful with good technique and with no pain. BUT the next day i had some issues around the elbow of the hand that was supinated for the DL. I don't have severe pain. When i bend the hand more than 90 degrees i feel discomfort and i can't point exactly were this comes from (Lower bicep or upper forearm) and i also feel discomfort at the front upper and back upper forearm. After a few days i did my normal Bench pressing routine. The next day after that i felt more irritated. I rested for 2 weeks without doing anything but walking. The first days of the 2 week period, i felt better when bending the arm (More than 90 degrees) but after that it was not getting better. It remaind the same. So i decided to get back to training. I used lighter weights (About 60%) that made me feel some discomfort but not much pain, for a set of 5 reps and trying to add 5 pounds in a Novice Linear Progression. Some hours after each workout and the next day it gets more irritated, but after one more day it gets into the same situation as before working out. That's my strategy. That's how i keep on going for the last 10 days. What do you think about that. Can you tell me with your experience what is the problem and what to do? I have not been to a doctor yet, because the only doctor's we have on this Greek island are Shitty Doctors that will tell me to stop training! The next days i will get a diagnosis and will update you with that.
Good luck my friend! Hope you heal quickly!
I always injure during reverse curls ! Never knew. Thanks a lot
Good luck! Thanks for watching!
Yes, exactly! Bodybuilder problems
I have been injured for about 6 months now. Pain in my elbow, inside and outside. All cause of arm wrestling 1 time. I still go to the gym, i try to not overload it but i just want it to go away. Anyone with experience here? I would really appreciate it! (im not into the sport of arm wrestling, just did it with a friend and i thing I just overloaded my elbow way to much... The thing is i don't really feel it when im actually working out, but always after exercising when my body is cooling down. But ALSO when i just have a rest day, didn't do any exercise or anything with my arm. Even then i have pain...
Get your arm straight in front of you and make a fist then point down with your fist and point up without moving your arm then point up but with you hand and then pull it towards you for 30 secs you don t feel the elbow but is still gonna get rid of the pain welcome
Yup. Pull ups messed me up. And I’m 295. Mines hurts where the connection is near the elbow
Good luck my friend! Avoid those pull ups for now.
I've had a problem with my arm for 4 1/2 years now and have been mins-diagnosed with tennis elbow and I will be having an MRI - if there were issues with my brachioradialis do you think this would show on the MRI? I will be buying a ball and trying the exercise you have demonstrated. Thanks for your videos!
Sorry to hear about your arm. Unless it is significant, fascial adhesions in the muscle probably won't show up on the MRI. Good luck and keep me posted on your recovery.
You are EXACTLY right about the pullups, my right brach feels like it's bein torn apart when I do pullups.
Hope the video can help!
Same for me. I stopped doing overhand pull ups and went with chin ups or neutral grip which helped a lot.
I have had issues for like 3 months now, one of my arms i can curl 45lb dumbells easily, the other arm i can't curl a rockstar energy drink. How long does this injury last? contemplating going to a physical therapist
It can go on for a while sometimes. Other times it can clear up with some simple fascial release work. Going to a therapist is always a good idea. Good luck!
Listened, learned, used my thumb and knuckles to massage my Brachioradialis Fascias and within 5 minutes my pain is dialed down from a 12 to a 4. Thank you for this invaluable explanation and advice.
Glad I could help my friend!
I get cramps there after my arms or back workout (usually after a hummer curls) whenever i move my elbow more than 90 degree (like trying to reach with the back of your neck for example you will bend your elbow) .. i can see the muscle twitches & I can't extend my arms back immediately
Hope the video can help!
This makes so much sense. Thank you! This is what my chiropractor must be doing when he works on my tennis elbow. I always feel better after it. Seems similar to active release technique.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey dr joe. I'm wondering if you can have tendonitis without having muscle adhesions in that area. Years back I received cortisone for my elbow pain. I've been mostly pain free since but recently I started having that same sort of ache in my elbow. I massaged it out some but I don't seem to feel any type of knots or anything in my forearm, and all my pain seems to be just in the crook of my elbow. Thanks!
It all depends on the injury and what cause it. There may not be adhesions involved. However, with that being said, I often find scar tissue around those type of injuries. Best of luck!
I always thought I was doing something wrong with bicep curls. It turns the soreness is from my back row exercise where I lift the dumbbell with a hammer grip. I must be bringing the dumbbell up too high and it's putting a lot of stress on my brachioradialises.
Glad the video was of some help!
Power cleans inflame my "elbow" and I'm wondering of there's a connection between inflamed brachioradialis and ulnar nerve entrapment or if you see them often coincident with the same types of "palms away" movements? I think I have both problems, but it's hard to sort them out when the pain is in "the elbow" and not super point specific.
Only way to really know the exact injury is to have it evaluated by a professional. Movements like cleans can definitely aggravate the brachioradialis.
Spent less the 2 mins just with my palm, made a difference right away. Great video, very informative, very effective.thank you
Thanks! Good luck my friend! Heal quickly!
I started doing a lot of dead hangs and farmer carries because it's been doing wonders for my upper back/neck/shoulders but started having pain in this muscle on my left arm for awhile now. Is rolling it out and massaging it the only solution? No stretches or targeted exercises to strengthen/fix this?
Try these techniques for a while, then slowly add in some strengthening exercises such as hammer curls.
This is the first video I have seen of yours. I love the level of detail and science-based explanation. I will definitely check out your website.
I have had this lingering pain just above and below my elbow, for probably a year and half, that makes hammer curls painful so I avoid them. Tonight I tried hammer curls with a slight rotation to workout the brachioradialis and they were basically impossible even with a very low weight (20 lbs). I have gone to PT for months and gotten zero results (we had assumed this was tennis elbow), but now I think the whole treatment regiment was based on a wrong diagnosis. So, two questions: Is there a good way to confirm that this is, in fact, from my brachiradialis? If you are familiar with gua sha, do you think that would be more or less effective than the techniques in this video?
Thanks you very much for putting this out there!
The brachioradialis is a pretty easy muscle to palpate. Palpate around the muscle. If it's tight and tender then there's a good chance that it's a problem. Also, pain on hammer curls is a common issue. The techniques I demonstrate are ones that I instruct my patients on. I am familiar with gua sha but not trained to perform it. Therefore, I can't really answer that question. Good luck my friend!
Hi sir, I got this injury because of pulling up on ledges. However my physicians advised to immobilize the arm until any pain reduces. What do u think should I try this or just rest?
I would listen to your doctor. They examined you. Good luck my friend!
Damn the day I started doing reverse curls 😫 this sometimes doesn't even let me do any kind of pullups and am limited to barbell curls only. Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Glad you found it helpful! Good luck with your training.
Bro same here, I am here because of reverse curls in addition to my wrist popping out the socket haha. We live we learn.
Catching the bar during Olympic movements cause me the most grief. Next is weighted pullups.
Hope the info on the video can help!
Thanks for the explanation! Over the summer I was super motivated with doing pullups...i got up to doing 85 consecutive, and i think that messed up my left forearm. I now experience pain when i perform bicep curls as well. I have stayed away from most excercises that cause pain, but it still seems to linger around. I've been massaging it nightly. Hopefully the pain goes away eventually as it's been around 2 months...
Good luck. Let me know how your recovery goes.
Has the pain gone now? I was doing pull-ups and all of a sudden there was a tear or something which sounded like tearing a paper on my forearm. It was almost a month ago and till today I can't do pullups, bicep curls, or anything that puts strain on Brachioradialis.
@@AmitKumar-te6vw ouch! Sorry to hear about your injury. As far as my injury, it took about a year and some months before the pain really went away. I use a compression arm sleeve that has been a life saver. Your injury may be more severe than what mine was, might want to get that looked at. Tendon injuries take a long time to heal. I constantly stretched it and messaged it.
@@supaflypriest Good to hear that your injury is gone. I'm planning to get it looked at because it's giving me hard time.
@@AmitKumar-te6vw If you heard a pop my guy it could be a tendon partial/full tear you need to get that checked out so that's good if your planning to. As for Ronald's experience don't be discouraged for how long it took, he didn't mention that he did rehab/strengthening for what sounded like a case of chronic tendonitis and instead waited it out which could be why it took so long. Maybe read Overcoming Tendonitis by Steven Low.
I hurt mine with a fluke accident with my dog, not even lifting lol. It's been really sore, just hope I didn't tear something bad
Good luck with it!
Damn...I wish I would've found your videos a long time ago...was having issues with my arm for weeks and I Swear to GOD im feeling a million times better...guess I'll have to switch up my workouts now...thanks Doc.
Glad I could help! Good luck!
Thanks for the explanation, I wonder if training planche would lead to a tight brachioradiolis? I have found out that when I straightened my left Forearm, the pain occurs in the joint which is head of radius. Will a tight brachioradiolis cause this pain to happen?
I don't think training planches should bother it but anything is possible.
This explains why my injury happened..
The way I load my musical equipment into my rv with my bicep at a disadvantage.. I’ll start tuning my arm to help me lift safer... thanks
Yes, be careful! Lifting weights is not the only way we injure this muscle. it can be unjured just lifting stuff around the house or yard.
Wow I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me until I got a textbook and started from scratch till I got here.... screw webMD
Glad I could help my friend!
this was great help- thanks- injured my left Brachioradialis doing heavy deadlifts and shrugs with a pronated grip
Glad I could help!
About 5 days ago I did hammer curls,push ups and bicep curls. The next day I noticed that I couldn't extend my left arm fully out and it hurt to try and hold up my arm . Currently I don't find it hard to hold my arm up anymore but I still can't stretch my arm out completely. And I guess my question is would you recommend I do these exercises or if this is something more serious and have to do something else.
Sorry if my English isn't good
Well you should always have any injury examined by a doctor/therapist. If you have already done so, then I would suggest trying these techniques and see if they provide some relief. Only perform the ones that do not cause pain. Good luck my friend!
This was really helpful! Sir, you deserve more subscribers💯
Glad I could help! I'm hoping we get more subscribers too!!!
For unknown reasons, my right arm began hurting on the top side of the elbow and I couldn't fully straighten the arm. I got an MRI and it showed a partial tear in the bicep tendon at the "distal" end where at attaches at the elbow. That was more than a year ago and though presumably the tendon has healed, I still can't fully straighten that arm and it looks like the tendon has visibly thickened. It doesn't hurt anymore, but instead the brachioradialis muscle is really hurting and is constantly getting "injured." I'm thinking, because I can't fully straighten my arm because of the bicep tear, that must be preventing the brachioradialis from ever being fully stretched, and so it has possibly gotten tighter, and that might make it more susceptible to injury. Does that make any sense? I need to find a way of stretching it even though my arm won't fully straighten.
Did you try some of the fascial release techniques on this video? Give them a try for a few weeks and let me know how it goes. Good luck!
My forearm was paining since yesterday and this worked wonders for me. Pain is almost gone now.
Thanks a lot Dr. Joe!
Great to hear my friend!! Good luck.
I sprained my elbow. I made a sudden fast movement with my elbow, and I got a shock or and instant pain. I had this pain for a while, but then it was gone. But now recently I decided to do sports again, and the pain is back. I tried to do push ups, and the pain came back, but not as painful as before. Just little bit. My question is, how can I exercise my elbow to make it stronger and get it back to "normal", so I can do push ups again.
The first thing you have to do is get rid of the pain before you can start training. If the techniques in the video don't help, you should see a good sports doctor/therapist in your area to treat it. Good luck.
My new favorite site for muscle pain relief, easily followed and very well explained.👍🏻👏🏼

I hurt my self while doing hammer biceps
That's not uncommon. It's an awkward exercise that can put a lot of stress on the brachioradialis.
I did that frist on Wednesday the pain still exists on Saturday but I am able to workout , the pain literally disappears while doing workout
I did too.... it’s hurt for almost a year now. It’s terrible
@@Sick_and_Tired850 Any better now?
Excellent. Will try the tai chi ball, that neck thing looks great too. I'm an artist and a web designer, I think repetitive movements have messed up various muscles and It seems to be all about the fascia release, which can be difficult to get to everything just with my fingers or even a professional massage, i need the fascia release tools. thank you!
Good luck my friend! Hope the techniques provide some relief for you!
I can't thank you enough for this. I've been struggling with this pain for so long.
So happy that I can help! Good luck!
my doctor said I have tendonitis in my brachioradialis muscle so I'm going to try your methods for helping it. I also have a big knot up into the bicep muscle. Do you think this is all related to the brachioradialis muscle or could it be two different injuries?
Hard to say without examining the area. However, give the techniques a try from this video for the next 3-4 weeks and let me know how it progresses. Good luck!
i confused this injury for tennis elbow. so glad to realize it’s my brachioradialis. thank you for the tutorial
Glad I could help Justin! Good luck!
How often can we do this? Daily? Multiple times a day? I've been dealing with this pain all year, really want it gone badly.
Once a day if good.
Wow, thanks! This is my exact problem. What exercises do you recoment to strengthen this muscle?
Once the muscle is pain free and healed, you can begin movements such as hammer curls. That motion targets the brachioradialis.
Bro you need to take a break not train it more 😂 let it heal
I am experiencing some pain from the wrist to the middle finger area (on the left hand) and even inflamation near the knuckle. could it be due to the this muscle or is it ECRL? i don't do weight lifting but i always hold my mobile phone on the left while i type with the right hand.
It doesn't sound like a brachioradialis issue. The brachioradialis ends before the wrist.
I dont feel any pain when i do pull ups but i got the injury when i was training hand stand and now it also hurts when i curls, i bought the tai chi ball and i hope this will help me :)
Good luck with your recovery! Let me know how it goes!
Yo bro, I have the same injury. Can also do pull ups and got it from training handstand. What did you do to make it go away?
@@jesset7142 i quit doing handstand and only train light weight in the gym and did tennis elbow rehab exercises
I think this is what I injured forcefully and frequently gripping and twisting a screw driver at work.
That will do it!
Great video. I have had this chronically from doing wide pull ups (as you said) and I am to the point where I need to be more proactive in addressing it.
Thanks! Good luck with the elbow/arm. Let me know how it goes!
I injured myself using some long heavy branch loppers. Not sure if I injured the muscle or developed a tendonitis situation. Should I follow this for either or is there a way to tell the difference and treat differently. Maybe you have a video for the tendon issue. Mine hurts after my arm has been in one position for several minutes then i bend it or straighten it. Hurts pretty bad right down from the elbow and hurts when I hold any weight even a cell phone with my arm bent. I’m planning to get one of those percussion massagers to do the things your doing with that ball. Hopefully that’s a good idea.
I have 2 other videos that you might one to check out. One's on tennis elbow and the other is on golfers elbow (both of those injuries are more of a tendon inflammation type injury). Massage guns are great to use also. Check out my website www.ocramedhealth.com
I'm going to do this now i need that ball I've been in pain for 3 years now I've always thought it was my wrist but after this video this is exactly what i have my wrist cracks all the time really bad thanks so much
Good luck! Keep me posted on your progress!
I used a plastic fork and that worked
i have the same that to for 10 years, plz tell me how it went and should i ice it ?
I have RA and this area is giving me the worst pain ever it’s really swollen and painful even my wrist is swollen I think it will be a reoccurring thing because of the Rheumatoid however I will use the massage techniques
Good luck!
Been having this exact issue from doing any cleans or front squats during my training. This was super informative and I believe this will help relieve my elbow pain so I can get back to doing some old lifting at the gym. Great video
Thanks! Keep me posted on your progress!
I don't work out, but I have a lot of pain there, exactly as described, I do write and I have pain in my wrists as well. Maybe I should go see a doctor it hurts to write
Definitely go have it checked out. Good luck!
Thank you very much for this video! I injured both forearms around six months ago at work when I was building and lifting swing benches over a period of a few weeks. Some were very large and awkward and I really strained to lift them. I could feel the forearms being injured some each day and when I started going back to the gym (I wasn't going during this time period of building swings), the pain increased more and more to the point that, I can't do any exercises now that involve arms, it seems--the pain is too much. And today, I have to go trim a bunch of trees with a sawzall for a few hours for a client. :( But at least I know what to do now to start treatment. Oh, I should mention that I experience a LOT of pain in the brachioradialis when I'm lying in bed, holding my phone with both hands so, I can't do that at all. So weird that a simple, static position like that can put so much strain on that forearm muscle.
Glad I could help my friend! Best of luck!
Do you can solve your Problems with your both forearms? If yes, how??
@@muminaslantas205 Yes, actually. I had a massage therapist really dig their fingers in, up and down the top of the forearms and it made a huge difference! Massage therapists also have those blades they can use to break up scare tissue the therapist I had, just used their fingers and it worked.
Wow fantastic video. You explained this so well it definitely describes the pain I am feeling. It hurts the most when I do Upright Dumbbell Rows. But I also do Dumbbell Hammer Curls which don’t hurt too bad at all but I’m now worried about doing both of those exercises. Are either of those exercises I should stop?
Might be best to avoid both for a little while until the injury resolves completely. Good luck!
Great video this is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.
You're welcome! Glad I could help!
After doing this I feel great for a few mins but then it hurts supper bad to extend my arm again 3 days ago I went to the gym for the first time in a few months and this pain started I struggle even just picking up my backpack off the ground what do I do ?
A lot of times it takes many weeks of work to break up all of the adhesion in the muscle. Good luck!
Simply awesome. Since watching this I’ve been deep massaging my left arm as described .... MASSIVE relief in the pain! I’ve been hitting pull-ups hard lately and thought I was going to have to stop. Simply the massage and some cool press has made such a relief! Thank you!
That's awesome! Glad I could help! Good luck with your training.
So are you saying we can go back to doing hammer curls after performing the techniques you said because for years now ,only in my left hand if I perform a hammer motion on the way down it feels like a soft snap and it drives me crazy because I can no longer do the motion ...even meadow rows
Once the injury is resolved, you should be able to go back to all normal activity. Good luck!
I usually feel the pain when I’m high. It’s probably because I’m playing computer games for long period of time. 6-10 hours max
Where can I buy a small Tai Chi ball from, does the size matter. Brilliant video ! Thank you!
Thanks Teresa! Go to my website at www.ocramedhealth.com.
I have this injury now for 3 weeks from lifting weights.
It's like a burning sensation from the back forearm (palms down up to the elbow joint)
Will try these wonderful exercises! Hope it helps.
Also you got a new subscriber sir.
My English is bad sorry.
Thank you for subscribing! Let me know how you do!
I've got this pain in the bottom of an oh press and bench press. Also if I just reverses body weight curl my arm in the top position. This helps but pain returns pretty fast.
Keep working the techniques. It often takes several weeks to fix.
I’ve been a carpenter for 25 years
I have a ton of damage from over the years.
I tried this exercise for five minutes and my left forum already feels better.
Gonna do the right now!
Thank you!
That's awesome! Glad I could help my friend!
I’m having pain here on the outside of my left elbow only while doing bicep curls with dumbbells.
I don’t have either of those tools so I guess I can’t do this Darn it
Use your fingers and knuckles.
Start at 3:40.
The beginning has good information.
My pain is in the middle of of elbow and some what on the upper part of my forearm but mostly in the middle of the bent part of my elbow, I did it doing an excessive amount of bicep curls, but I feel it anytime I do a pushing or pulling motion
Give the techniques a try for a few weeks. Good luck!
This video was really good, I ride bmx and get a lot of bother with this muscle from gripping the handlebar
Happy to help my friend! Good luck with your bmx riding!
I get brachioradialis pain whenever I do squats or bench press when working with weights 80%+ of my 1rm. The pain becomes so unbearable that it limits my pressing power. I've tried looking up the symptoms online and cannot find a remedy. I want to be able to lift heavy and progress in weight but I feel like it's going to get worse. :(
Try the techniques from the video for a few weeks and let me know how it goes. Also, get the injury looked at by a doctor/therapist in your area. Good luck!
Hi GREAT video explains what i have got and how to treat it lots of knots . i was doing great and building up arms then woke up one day and Pain.. its got to the point where i cant train the bicep i lightend the load but pain , what exercise for the bicep can i do that wont aggravate the Brachioradialis ? working on legs more while this pain is treated
Just let "pain be your guide". Try various bicep exercises and see which ones feel good and skip the ones that seem to aggravate. Definitely keep training the lower body like you have been doing. Good luck!
Just a 12 year old boy studying human anatomy so I can be a doctor and cure cancer
@Pierre-Alexis Lachance thanks man
People that cure cancer go missing or have accidents... so just be careful when the time comes to expose the cure do it very very publicly. There is a ton of money in cancer treatments they don't want a cure as sad as that truth is bud. God bless you though and do what you're called to do. 💯
