My pain is different and is getting worse. After getting through my most recent squat and getting through my warmup set for bench, I was unable to complete my workset for my bench and I didn't do my PCs because I was in so much pain. The pain extends from my the outermost point of my elbow up through my tricep up to the backside of my shoulder and into my left neck muscle. The most painful part is inside the elbow, and I just sort of have a dull ache and tightness through the rest. I have no pain in my forearm.Today I tried to complete my bench set before squatting. I barely got through my warmup sets and I was already in intense pain. I felt as though my left arm was going to collapse when I unracked the bar to prepare for my set. When I tried to unrack for my workset, I felt a very uncomfortable sensation in my elbow. Almost like a tendon rolling over a bone. Needless to say, I didn't finish anything today and now I'm sitting here frustrated and icing.
My first instinct is to ice/ibuprofen and leave out bench for awhile, but I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks.
