Elbow cracking

Your shooulder is likely a rotator issue. However major or minor it is, dont fuck around with it. I had it in both and thought i would "just work through it". I ended up getting a 17 month layoff.
I agree with joeblow, when I was doing jiujitsu every day I got bad tendonitis in my right elbow and wearing one of those elbow sleeves during training really helped... it stopped clicking as much and hurt less afterwards. It has to fit right tho, it's supposed to be tight to compress the area. I twould go to physical therapy too, but just for one session. Get a list of exercises to do and have them show u how to do em, then just do them by yourself every day for a few weeks. You can go back once every few weeks to check up on progress and get new exercises to do, but I wouldn't waste the time/money on daily PT sessions. I also wouldn't mess with cortisone, it can just mask the problem so you keep aggravating it in training and turn it into a more serious problem that you might need surgery for. Hope u get that taken care of, it really sucks having to take time off cuz of injuries

curious, have you been or have you used a smith machine?
Those damn things have screwed a number of people I know. Just curious. Id try to see a sports med guy, when I hurt mine I saw the team doctor for the Columbus Blue Jackets, (surgeon) First thing he asked was, do you want to put the time in to fix it, or do you want surgery and it will never be the same? No surgery. He had me do PT with ice, ultra sound, and heat. took a while! (yeah...smith machine)

Go to inzer.com they sell some good elbow wraps for about $50. My buddy has a pair and he has used them for years. I feel like if your going to spend the money you might as well buy top quality once instead of multiple cheap pairs.
