So 2 and a half weeks ago I had my left elbow popped in a key lock. There was no pain when the move was being applied (super flexible shoulders, thats about all i got) then all of a sudden my elbow pops loud enough the guy stops.
It felt fine and I told him it was alright. This happened at a tourny and the guy was trying to crank it really hard or anything. Finished that match then fought again and won third place.
My arm was sore the next day and I had small bruise on my left elbow on the medial side where the Ulnar Collateral Ligament is.
Ever hear of tommie john surgery? thats what baseball pitchers get when they blow out their UCL with a grade III tear. Went to doc and got MRI but waiting on results. It should be okay just a grade I sprain but man it is annoying as hell.
I tried doing just technique the last two weeks with no rolling. But now it just keeps getting super inflammed so I have stopped completely. Looks like i will be out another 6 weeks. 8 weeks in total just like the Doctor said. "take 8 weeks off" Been seeing a BJJ black belt chiropractor who has been working on it.
Either way this is super annoying and I can't risk tearing it worse and being out 1 year plus. This has to be one of the worse injuries you can have. SUCKS because I am about to get my blue belt in less than a year training.
