I have been using a lacrosse ball on my left elbow/bicep area to try and figure out what is going on with the pain I have when doing pullups/chins/etc. I definitely found a spot that is causing the pain. It is right where the bicep and the elbow meet. If you have your arm on a desk, palm up, it is right on the inside of the elbow (closest to body) above where the bone is (
Humeral Medial epicondyle according to this pic.). Pain is definitely soft tissue and not bone. Guessing tendonitis? Suggestions?
Right now my plan is to try and ignore the pain and work through it. Don't think a Dr is going to help much at this time, unless someone has a reason that my thinking is flawed. If it gets to a point where I can't use my arm, then off to the Dr. I am definitely open to other suggestions, just wanted to put a little insight as to where my current thinking is.
