Whenever you have an injury and you're about to post up please do a few things in your post:

1. Note what you were doing when it occured.

2. Note whether it's acute or chronic -- pretty much just appeared or whether you've had problems with it before (or any past injuries to the area).

3. Note what other exercises or movements hurt it especially with the shoulder and hip joint because they are complex.

4. Note WHERE exactly the injury is. "Elbow" or "knee" is too vague. If you have to look up where exactly then type in the body part and physiology and search in google and then go to images. For example, type "elbow physiology" and then click on "images" and it will pull up pictures for you. Usually elbows injuries are at the medial epicondyle but there's other variations so be specific.

5. STAY OFF ANYTHING THAT CAUSES PAIN. Pain = your body telling you that someone is wrong. So what if you miss a couple workouts or a jam. You could be injuring yourself permanently to where you could never do those things again or it may take months or years to heal if you just push through. Better say than sorry ALWAYS. One workout or jam isn't a difference of life and death.

awww, that sucks Pat =( you are still a badass.
