Golfer's Elbow - Pin firing
Hi All,
I have had medial epicondylitis for close to 3 months now. I have tried resting, icing, diclofenac, TENS, PT, and most recently a PRP shot about 2 weeks ago. It has improved a bit but the pain still persists.
I am starting to load the tendon now. I started Mark's pin firing protocol today with 20 sets of 3 chin ups. I must be further along in my recovery than I thought because the pain was minimal.
Question - Mark prescribed sets of 3 chins *if* you can do around 10 chins. I haven't tried in 3 months since the pain started but I'm pretty confident I can still do 15-20. In the moment, after a little pump, I felt very little pain and I keep hearing that I should be feeling more pain. Should I up the reps to 5 @ 20 sets, or is that over-doing it and I just need to be patient?
Also - any issues with rolling the tendon on a lacrosse ball daily while doing this pin firing protocol? Would that interfere?
Thanks,
Armando

Up the reps to 5 and see what happens.
