Elbow problems help anyone!!

Question

Okay so i do a lot of pull ups and chin ups exersizes along with weighted chins with usually around 50 extra lbs. But now my elbow hurts really bad. Only the right one. Its been hurting for a week and hurts whenever i straighten it. Do you think it is from the pull ups or do you think its from the fact that i can crack my right elbow and have for about a year. If it is the cracking i will stop.

Answer 1

Please see an Orthopaedic doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Ask around & see which doctor is the best before you make an appointment.

you have to wear the pads or straps for ur elbows if you dont then the bone in ur upper side of ur lower hand will start sticking out and if u hit a wall or something with that bone sticking out it hurts like a *****  it happened to me when i did weight lifting
