I met with an orthopedic surgeon today regarding my elbow tendinitis (chronic pain and limited use). He recommend against surgery. It would take away the pain but wouldn't help me get better range of motion. He said I could have LESS range of motion in my arm! A bummer but I'm impressed with his integrity. I have to live with the pain. I think I need a month in the tropics with nothing to do but s

I think in the last post I mentioned that a job for the weekend would be to replace my neck seal on my dry suit. Well, to be perfectly honest, I never managed to replace the seal as I didn't have the seal (they're in Preston) and I had no glue. However, I did go to Brookbank Carlisle to try and rectify the absence of glue, but they were all out as well. The trip wasn't all that unproductive mi

I did more intervals today. This time, I did 10x400 meter intervals around the track at TCU.It was humid, very humid. You know when you step out of the shower and the mirror is all foggy?

The chicken wing or flying elbow as it is more commonly known plagues many amateur golfers. Interestingly, you will also discover the same ‘fault’ in the swings of some professionals as well.
I like to occasionally mention techniques that are rarely seen but very effective. The upward elbow /elbow uppercut is one of those techniques that is not used as much as it should. A very simple technique to perform it can be devastating when combined with close range techniques such as the roundhouse elbow or knee strikes.
The way it is performed is relatively easy. From a fighting stance with

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a common elbow injury of racket sport players and manual laborers. Tennis elbow is an overuse injury resulting from the performance of repetitive motions with the hand and forearm, such as swinging a tennis racket or a hammer. Such repetitive motions can cause inflammation of the muscles of the forearm. The symptoms of tennis elbow include pain, soreness, and weakness in the muscles on the outside of the forearm. The treatment of tennis elbow is usually conservative, relying on rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medication. When attempting to diagnosis tennis elbow, a doctor or physical therapist will test for tenderness on or near the bony knob of the elbow joint. Pain that increases when bending the wrist back is also indicative of tennis elbow. T

I became a bit concerned lately hearing Elbow being bandied about in the same sentence as Coldplay. Can’t remember where I read it exactly and in what publications but there were several references to insipid craftsmanship and snotty noses. Oh no, I internally screamed, had Guy Garvey’s band of Mancs lost the plot and would ‘The Seldom Heard Kid’ be their assault on the Chris Martin adoring masses. I needn’t have worried because Elbow’s newbie is nothing of the sort. The album may be easier on the ear (in that it doesn’t take a dozen listens to make sense) than previous efforts but Elbow have lost none of their sense of epic mournfulness. In fact after a week in the company of ‘The Seldom Heard Kid’ I can confidently say that this is their best work since ‘Asleep At The

Tennis is a physical sport. Running, jumping, swinging, and sometimes diving on the hard court; like any sport, there are many ways that tennis players can incur an injury. However, there is one injury that is so prevalent among tennis players the injury itself has the word tennis in the name; that injury, of course, is tennis elbow. While tennis elbow, known medically as lateral epicondylitis, is not limited to tennis players, it is estimated that one third of all tennis players will experience the condition at some point in their lives. Anyone who engages in lifting at the elbow, or repetitive movements of the elbow and wrist, is likely to be susceptible to this condition, so naturally tennis players are at high risk. The cause of pain from this condition is not a medical certainty, al
You keep feeling pain in your elbow and can not figure out why. You are in great physical condition and play tennis every weekend with friends when the weather is nice. You have even joined a tennis club to have access to better inside courts. Now, you are in pain and do not know why. What is even more important to you is that you can not play tennis without the pain becoming more severe. It is time to see the doctor and hopefully get a pill to get better. Unfortunately, after extensive testing, the doctor tells you that you have tennis elbow-something you thought was just a joke or an excuse for not playing the game well. Okay, so what is going on in your elbow? Tennis elbow occurs when tiny tears occur in a certain part of the tendon and in the muscle coverings. Even after letting everyt
Rehabilitation for a tennis elbow injury will require patience, and of course the questions that run through your mind are very simple. What do I need to do? How do I do it? When should I do it? How long is the rehabilitation for my tennis elbow going to take? The answer to the last question is - As long as it takes!! The first thing to remember is that Tennis Elbow becomes a chronic problem if it isn't looked after properly. In terms of tennis elbow rehabilitation, there is one absolute rule. You must do nothing until you are experiencing little or no pain, and then the rehabilitation process, and exercises can only proceed providing you have no pain in whatever exercise you are doing. Before you can start playing tennis properly again you must have restored full strength and mobility to
Prevention of a Tennis Elbow injury will always be so much better than a Cure. So what can you do to prevent a tennis elbow injury? There are several things you can do which will dramatically lessen your chances of having a tennis elbow injury which incidentally afflicts thousands of players every year. The first and most important thing is to select proper equipment. There are guidelines that need to be followed when selecting a tennis racquet, and this especially applies to the vast majority of players, who never play in a tournament, but equally suffer the greatest number of Tennis elbow injuries. You must test as many racquets as possible before choosing the one for you, and take advice from your coach or a qualified salesman before parting with any money!. It is best to choose a graph

From YESNetwork.com:TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Andy Pettitte gave the New York Yankees exactly what they wanted: a pain-free start. Pettitte allowed three runs and three hits over 3 1-3 innings in the Yankees' 8-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday. The left-hander was scratched from his previous start Wednesday due to minor muscle irritation on the outside of his throwing elbow. "My arm felt good," Pettitte said after his 65-pitch outing. "Felt real good in the first. Got a little tired in the last inning. All in all, it was a good day for me." "I was happy with his performance," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I had no concerns. He threw the ball very well. A couple extra days probably helped."If anyone was still worried, you can relax. Though this was never thought of as something seriou

PAWAN KALYAN has been creating a lot of sensations off-late for all the wrong reasons and other than CINEMA. But the latest revelation has been that the strapping band that he is sporting now-a-days on his right elbow is a TENNIS ELBOW!!! I think many of you would remember SACHIN TENDULKAR had a similar one and was in news for some time. So, how did PAWAN got this Tennis Elbow? Well, according to a popular website Telugulo.com, Pawan used to do farming activities in his free time at his farmhouse in Sankarpalli. According to them, while doing so... he must have used his right hand for plucking out the weeds to the extent that it gave him TENNIS ELBOW. And so following his doctor's advise, he is wearing a strapping. How ridiculous is that? I am not a medical expert, but heard that SACHIN got it because of his illustrious but punishing career. I wonder what must be the real reason behind this TENNIS ELBOW?
The beautiful women always take care of all body parts including elbows. A twisted, dark and dirty elbow is no match to an otherwise beauiful woman. Simple natural care to elbows would make tham attractive. Elbows are part of your long arms and that part of the body remains unattrative so long elbows are not cared.
Elbows usually keep dirts within their layers of skin. It looks odd, if not cleaned. Elbow skin is soft because for this we can move our arms. Because of its softness and layers of skin dirts are stored their unknowingly. Since we cananot see our elebow as we see our hands because of its position, they are often neglected unknowingly.
In tropical region, where heavy sweating occures, elbows are first to catch dirt. Elbows are also used for hand rest. Tke care that you do not place your elbows without checking the place. And after every hand rest, wash your elbows by a cloth or cotton so that dirts do not find scope to pile up there.
While bathing take extra care for washi
Although many martial artists know the correct point of striking for empi, there are still lots that think its best to strike with the tip of the elbow.
Ask any Mauy Thai fighter, and they will say that the correct striking point is on the forearm, within two inches from the tip of the elbow. When the elbow is swung into the target either in a hook or uppercut fashion, this is the best part to strike with. If a spinning elbow strike is performed then the striking surface would be again two inches from the point, but on the upper arm tricep side. Although called an elbow strike, it is not the exact point of the elbow which is used for these strikes. The only time when it may be practical to use the point, is when delivering downward elbow strikes to a low target, back elbow strikes to a target behind and side elbow strikes. This is because the technique is not delivered in a circular motion as the other but in a straight line motion.
Arthritis painShoulder painBursitis Tennis elbowPain and tightness between the shoulder blades Swelling (edema)Injury to a joint, such as the elbow or shoulder, or arthritic inflammation can be quite painful. A combination of diet and shiatsu effectively deals with these common problems.If an injury has occurred, shiatsu can inhibit swelling. It can also reduce the pain.In the case of arthritis, the macrobiotic diet is the key in alleviating the symptoms. Extremes of food aggravate arthritic symptoms. Beef, eggs and other animal foods, fruits, fruit juice (especially tropical varieties), spices, stimulant and aromatic herbs, soft drinks, sugar, honey, chocolate, vinegar, and especially the entire nightshade family (tomato, potato, eggplant, bell pepper, and tobacco) have been linked with increased arthritic pain. In addition, oil and fat contribute to arthritis. Its symptoms are also aggravated by excessive intake of liquid and icy drinks such as soda and beer.

Well I was dead wrong about UFC 76 with the exceptions being my picks of Lyoto Machida and Jon Fitch, both fighters were impressive. Shogun gassed after 7 minutes and Ive never seen him gas. He fought Lil Nog in a war for 25 minutes. I just don't get it and I was shocked to see him actually tap out. I hope he comes to fight next time because he is still one of my favorite fighters. The rematch of Anderson Silva vs Rich Franklin is October 20th, UFC 77: Hostile Territory. This Anderson fight with Miletich trained Tony Fryklund is reminiscent of the Franklin fight with Silva using a nasty clinch to totally control his opponent. The elbow to end the fight is amazing.Ultimate MMA videos for your viewing pleasure. Also news and comments from the world of mma.

You begin to wonder if the Club’s Medical Centre is something akin to the Bermuda Triangle; enter at your peril for you may never be seen again. Lehmann, Gallas and Eboue have been in there and will not be coming out for a while. It is though good motivation for the rest of the squad to not require medical attention; the rampaging egos in there at present would leave little room for anyone else to get a word in edgeways. Lehmann would be boring them to tears over his claims to still be the best ‘keeper at Arsenal, Gallas’ tearful diatribes on how he will speak his mind now he is Captain and Eboue running round in a Gorilla suit because he is the joker would drive anyone insane. Perhaps that is why they have not healed quickly enough? The Quacks will be stoned up to the eyeballs on Ketamine to allow them to pass a day in that trio’s company.

So last night had some dinner with friends, and they have a Nintendo Wii. Now, Kim and I are very late adopters of games and technology and such like this. I'm a gardner, I like to read alot...this gaming thing isn't in my DNA...but I do enjoy a new one/experience periodically. This was fun. I even thought my Mii, looked, well, like me.
Anyway, we all bowled, but our friends four-year-old wanted to play me in baseball. I figured it out - but I couldn't get the ball out of the infield. Jannine said: "It's all in the wrist." Right. I had to jump around, flail as I pitched and attempted to hit. So did the little boy I was playing and he was having fun flailing....I was flailing because I was failing. Man, he was good. He took me yard, he punch-and-judyed the ball all over the place. He only beat me 1 to nothing. Once he stops being just 4 and gets the taste for blood... he'll kill me.
We then played tennis. He was friggin Federer. I was, well, a fat guy from the suburbs playing Roger

So we’re off to Ireland tomorrow for many reasons. First, I haven’t been home in ages and so the withdrawal symptoms are starting to kick in. Second its my birthday on Thursday and it’s always good to spend it at home. Better chance for presents and general pampering! The most important reason for going back however is for the wedding of two friends. But its just not any wedding, it’s an Irish wedding!
The couple went to Uni with me and we ended up doing PhDs at the same department in Dundee. Our class in Uni was about thirty people in total and I’ve kept in touch with maybe ten to fifteen of them, some of whom will be at “the do”. We were lucky to all click and get on together. So its a mini reunion of sorts as well. Also, they’re having the wedding at the campus church so I suspect a few people from the old department will be down as well. A real blast from the past.

For all of you PTs out there treating a patient with an insidious onset of tennis elbow, you may want to ask your patient one question...do they own a Nintendo Wii?In the June 2007 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Julio Bonis wrote an editorial explaining a case of "Acute Wiitis." In the editorial, Dr. Bonis reports of a 29-year-old medical resident who woke one morning with severe right shoulder pain. The patient had no history of recent injury or physical activity; however, upon inspection, had positive tests consistent with acute infraspinatus tendonitis. After thorougly scrutinizing all of his activities over the past day, the patient remembered that he was playing a tennis video game on his new Nintendo Wii for several hours. "The final diagnosis for the isolated right shoulder pain was Nintendinitis. However, the variant in this patient can be labeled more specifically as 'Wiiitis'."For those who are not familiar with the new Nintendo Wii, it is an interactive
I got to work at 7 this morning thinking I’d be working on the massive reset I have coming in my Foam department. Instead I was there…..cleaning. They had me on shelf scrubbing duty again. I HATE that. I hate feeling like a maid! If I wanted to clean up other peoples messing for a living I’d work at a freaking hotel or something.
Meanwhile, my first customer of the day (on a register, not on the floor) was a $145 RETURN. Why do people return things so early in the day. We have NO money in our registers to give them, but they want us to give them money anyway.
So I ended up owing the safe $140 and couldn’t go home until I got it. Luckily I was able to go back to my job scrubbing glitter and glue and glitter glue off of shelves while Elise ran on my register to get me the cash I needed.
Much love for Elise!!!

Chris Carpenter will miss a turn in the St. Louis Cardinals' pitching rotation due to right elbow inflammation, though the team thinks its ace won't be out long. Carpenter complained of soreness Monday, the day after he struggled in the season opener against the New York Mets. An examination by team physician Dr. George Paletta on Tuesday did not include an MRI, and Carpenter said he thought his elbow already had improved. "I'm not a doctor, but I feel it's a little bit better," Carpenter said. The Cardinals said Carpenter will be evaluated over the next three days. Carpenter allowed five runs in six innings during a 6-1 loss to the Mets on Sunday night. He has been the staff ace the last three seasons after missing most of the 2002 season and all of 2003 following shoulder surgery. Carpenter was an All-Star in each of the last two seasons, going 15-8 last year after winning the NL Cy Young Award with a 21-5 record in 2005. Source: AP

Businesses like to pretend that the world of capitalism is a jungle, where only the strong can make it against all the odds. It’s all dog eat dog and survival of the fittest on the mean streets of the global corporate world.
Except the jungle is the garden of paradise, where the effete inheritors of wealth slumber and gamble other people’s money. Rather than dog eat dog, it is more “the dog ate my homework” and the fittest are rarely fit for purpose and all the corporate streets are paved with gold. The idea that this is all a hard life is a myth to stop the poor from rioting.

A recent article featured in the American Journal of Sports Medicine looked at the results of a modified technique to reconstruct the Ulnar Collateral Ligament of the elbow in throwers. The study looked at 100 throwers who underwent a docking technique for reconstruction of the medical elbow ligament, with a mean follow-up of 36 months.Traditionally, athletes have undergone the Tommy John surgery or Jobe surgery, in which a tendon from the individual's forearm is grafted into the elbow. This docking technique, was modified from the Jobe procedure where a muscle-splitting approach is used through the posterior one third of the common flexor pronator mass. The muscles are not detached and thus the ulnar nerve is untouched, minimizing the risk for post-operative ulnar nerve symptoms.Postoperatively, the arm was maintained in a plaster splint for 1 week, then the elbow was placed in a hinged brace. Initially, motion was allowed from 30° of extension to 90° of flexion, then advanced

No we haven’t gone all Schoolhouse Rock on you, but it’s interesting that this cartoon from the 70’s was singing about the Western Expansion of the United States to get us some elbow room because our population was growing.
Well, it looks like we might have to start jumping into the Pacific Ocean, because as of 7:46 am this morning, The United States has just passed the 300 million person population point. Now only China and India have more citizens than the U.S.
The consequences of this are many. Certainly increasing population means increased need for housing, jobs, food, education, healthcare etc. On top of that it creates more pollution, greater strain on natural resources and the environment.
Along with all this is a change in demographics. While that is not necessarily a negative consequence, it does create more racial and ethnic strain. Look no further than all the fuss over immigration and citizenship, as well as the ongoing debates about language an

Yeah, but how?Hi all,News that Las Vegas Magnate Steve Wynn somehow managed to put his elbow through one of his Picasso's (The Dream 1932, pictured above being sold at Christies in 1997 for £24.7m) has left me a tad baffled? According to ambiguous reports this major 'mishap' happened whilst Mr Wynn was showing his multi squillion dollar painting off to guests. Most unfortunate.My question though is how exactly do you do something like that? Whenever I touch one of my own canvas's (which sell for a hefty bit less than £24m!) I handle it as though I were grooming angles wings. In other words very, very carefully. OK, I know he's 75 years old and has a condition affecting his peripheral vision and I could understand if perhaps he had dropped it or fallen over it but how does he puncture it with his elbow?Maybe he'd just been watching Enter the Dragon and simply got carried away. You know these Bruce Lee fans….Catch you laterShirley
During the first quarter of the 2007 Pro-Bowl, Drew Brees dislocated his left elbow. This will make the second straight offseason that Bree's will be have an arm injury of some kind. Last season he had to have surgery on his torn right shoulder.Drew Brees was voted the starting quarterback after leading the Saints to the NFC Championship game and throwing for 4,418 yards and 26 touchdowns. Brees was injured while throwing a fourth-down incompletion on the NFC's second drive at the NFL all-star game. The NFC starter went 2-of-7 for 23 yards in the scoreless first quarter.
Elbow AilmentsLet us talk about tennis first. Although in the tennis the back, arms, legs and ankles can all be injured, the elbow is the most likely target for the trouble. Tennis elbow can develop in anyone playing the game because of the severe strain put on the elbow in serving and placing the ball. It must be kept in mind that the tennis racket is an extension of the forearm, and the combination acts as a lever arm for which the elbow is the fulcrum. If a ball traveling rapidly toward the player is struck with the racket, the entire force is transmitted to the elbow. That is bad enough, but is missed by the rapidly traveling racket.Whenever the player feels a strain on his elbow while playing, he should massage and place pressure on the acupuncture sites of the elbow each time the ball becomes dead. If he does this he may prevent tennis elbow from occurring either if it has already occurring or is a chronic problem with him. The procedure is mandatory while he is playing if he wan

In the trailer for the new Coen brothers dark-comedy, Burn After Reading, the song Grounds for Divorce by Elbow is wholeheartedly featured throughout. When I first saw the Burn After Reading trailer, this track stuck in my head immediately. There's no denying that it's a great, catchy song. That's presumably ...
