I know that asking for medical advice on the internet is dangerous, but here goes.
Back on 4/1, I injured my elbow while putting the wide wheels and tires on my car. I got "Golfer's elbow." I let it go for a couple of months, backed off on exercises at the gym that aggravated it, but it never went away.
Finally, last month, I went to an orthopedic surgeon. He gave me a shot of cortisone to the elbow.
The problem is, the elbow still hurts from doing curls. My shoulder hurts from doing presses, too, and the side of my bicep hurts from doing something else, I don't know what.
The pain is there during and after the session at the gym, stays the next day, and sometimes into the second day when I go to the gym again.
I don't think I'm overdoing it on the exercises (the weights would make most of you guys laugh). I know that the elbow is a real problem, and will probably have to see the doc again for another shot.
Does the rest of the stuff sound like normal workout aches and pains, or am I just wrecking my body in a vain attempt to have a little bit of muscle for the first time in my life? (For the first time ever, I actually wouldn't be ashamed to take my shirt off).
