I took a solid knee shot to the back of my elbow last Thursday and had my whole hand go numb and my forearm was sore all night. The next day my forearm wasnt sore but my ring and pinky fingers were numb. My pinky is still a little tingly but my tendon(maybe?) just on the inside of my arm from my tricep right behind my elbow is so tender if I apply pressure at I get that tingle shoot up my arm...any ideas?
I'd prob go see the doctor, might as well get expert advice.
That's what I'm thinking...Quote:

Yeah, I'm pretty sure your nerve was damaged from the impact on the knee hitting the back of your arm from the symptoms you've given. Just go see a doc, you probably have swelling in that damaged area while your body is trying to repair itself. He'll probably give you some cortisol....either that or...Coach Herzog is right =D.
Hope you get it sorted soon whatever it is bro. Regular icing etc in the meantime can't hurt though. :-)
I got a similar injury about 4-5 monthes ago. Its nerve damage from a toe that kicked into a tender gap between the joints. My ring and pinky fingers shot a tingling pain throughout the half of my forearm. I'm still having trouble doing pushups from certain angles. I diagnosed myself and I took nothing to help it heal. Just try not to use it much, which will make training difficult.
Usually nothing wrong with Rest, Ice, Ibuproren for a day or two then go see a Doctor, if it stays the same, go to doctor right away if it gets worse.Elbows heal slowly. I'm still not 100% from an armlock pop two months ago.

Sounds like a cubital tunnel syndrom. Doctor is your best bet. Also icing and not using the arm/hand too much a couple of days.
Thank you guys, I just hate having two weeks to a tournament and not being able to train hard.Quote:

Wow thats way worse than mine....I hope. I really just want to make sure I am good for Gracie Worlds. Subleague is great but Worlds are priority so I wont be too devastated if I need to sit on the shelf for a bit. :)Quote:

My elbows get damaged too when i absorb hits but I've never got my hand swollen or anything like that. Since you have a tournament coming up, I'd suggest you get the treatment ASAP like the other people suggested. Good luck
I agree, missing Worlds would SUCK!! Slow down your training and get it looked at...only two weeks 'til Sub Leauge! We will be heading down to Portland anyway as Mikey (our 9-year old) will be competing. You and I can sit in the stands and talk about how we would have kicked everybody's asses!!Quote:
