However!
Last night I bought one of those bar things that you attach to your doorway to do pull ups at home. It works great, but I think I did too much. My left arm is sore, has a bruise on the inner elbow like I broke a vein.
Is this anything to worry about? Can I keep working on it or am I hurting something?

Hey there Josie!
I get these. Lately from the heavy pullups but previously from rock climbing. They're called vein adjacent generalized ischemic neuropathic arterial lesions with pre-adaptive inert nodes, or "vaginal pain" for short. They told me whenever I get a vaginal pain, to try to give the whole area a rest and possibly put some ice on it. After 48 hours it's ok to apply some heat, like possibly steam, but wait at least 72 hours before massaging. Let me know how your vaginal pain progresses.
