Commercial break for elbow rant!

Are you icing it, Michael, and keeping it elevated? At the very least you need to be taking an anti-inflammatory, unless you are sensitive to them.

You young people! If you choose not to rest it and help it heal now, you'll pay for it later... trust me... old things that happened to me years ago are rearing their ugly heads now, with arthritis in the spine, ankle, , knee, neck... from repeated falls off horses that I basically just "got back on" and kept going! I'm too young at 51 to be dealing with this, so PLEASE take care of yourself now so you don't feel it later on.

If that terrible pain doesn't go away or start to fade soon (next day or two), get back to the doctor (an orthopedist, ideally) to make sure you haven't impinged a nerve or blood vessel. If feeling in your hand starts to go away (numbness or pins and needles sensation) get back there ASAP! because that is an emergency situation.

Okay, back to your wonderful-sounding 240!
