Elbow Injury

[Christina Orourke]

I’m having issues with my left arm (the ligaments between my forearm and biceps). It is really painful to do any type of curl. I feel like if I only curl with my right arm i’ll end up totally unbalanced? If I skip all the curl exercises there isn’t much left in the workout… lol. Do I avoid all curls or do the curls with just my right arm?

I would avoid all curls, you don’t want to create significant muscular imbalances by only working one side of your body. Did you go get your elbow checked out to see what the issues is?

Thank you! No, I haven’t gone to get it checked, yet. It feels very similar to the same issue I had with my right elbow two years ago. That took 8 weeks with a physical therapist to fix 🙁
