Hiya everyone,
Hope you have all had a lovely christmas!
Just a wee question, has anyones elbow ever locked and feels like its going to snap if you move it?
This has never happened to me in 23 years until 2day while i was driving. when i stopped at my boyfriends house i brought my arm/hand in towards my body and it cracked really loud and then when i pushed my arm/hand away from my body it felt like it was going to snap off it pushed any harder...was really odd. i just kinda massaged it and gently pushed and pulled it to loosen it off - which worked but it was really horrible. Does anyone know what would cause this? its not a particularly cold winter in Scotland and im not even having cold pains so i'm not sure its the weather.
I havent actually seen a doctor/physio for my arm since i was around 16/17 so im wondering if its maybe time i go back just to make sure everythings ok? sometimes now when i go to the gym the next day my arm is SO painful and it lasts for days. I know the erbs arms generally get worse with age ... lol maybe im paranoid but i think mines is starting to deteriorate at quite a young age...any thoughts on this?
Well thats all for tonight...il get back to my uni work!
