Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.
I think icing last night helped, at least up until the part where the bag leaked and the ice water spilled all over the sheets.
More taking breaks and stretching. That one stretch still hurts – I think I’m going to cut it out. I’ve got physio again tonight, I’ll see if she can give me a better stretch.
Remember a few days ago I said that my simple flying club tach entry web site had garnered about a bazillion feature requests before it could be rolled out?

I came up with something at work yesterday that I can’t tell if it’s extremely clever, or way too complicated.

Well, I took the physio’s advice about taking breaks and stretching more often. I can’t say whether it helped or not, but it probably didn’t hurt. I’m currently icing one elbow – I don’t have enough ice to do both.
In spite of her advice on how to modify it, one of the stretches still seems to hurt – not a nice pulling out the tension stretch type hurt, but a “damage the ligaments” type hurt. Bad hurt. I’ve got to figure out how to stretch “A” without hurting “B”.
In physio today, we did the very painful “massage” thing that she does. It hurts like hell when she’s doing it, and for a while afterwards. Then she did ultra sound, and a less painful type of massage. Then she did what she calls “stim”, which is an electrical thing that makes the surface muscles just under the skin twitch in an interesting and not all-together unpleasant manner. While that was going on, she also applied cold packs to both elbows.
Joanne, the physio, also recommended that I take a break and stretch every 20 minutes when I’m typing. That’s going to be tough. She also suggested I use ice when I get home from work.
It’s a couple of hours after the physio, and my elbows feel better than usual.
