Tricep pain

[ironalex]

I was sparring Thursday, and got rushed into spar without warning up as I was late coming and sparring partners were waiting. Anyway, I threw a straight and i got a bit of pain (but not overly painful) in my tricep, however, I rested the day after, back in the gym Saturday and felt fine. Today before sparring I was warming up, doing stretches, and felt no pain or anything I felt absolutely fine. Anyway, when it came to the actual
Sparring, I threw the straight again, and pain in my tricep started, but this was worse. It's sharp and I could hardly throw a straight hand after let alone with any power. I iced it and keeping it elevated. Now it feels better but still bad and basically I don't want it hurting again. how long should I rest it for? If it feels ok again tomorrow should I go to the gym or rest it at least a day? (Because I don't want it happening again), as I'm fighting in 3 weeks

What does your trainer tell you? Are you hyper-extending your arm?
Most tricep injuries are not from punching most backup muscles don't over extend.
You need to sit down with your trainer and get his observations on the problem.

He said to ice it and keep it elevated and use the other hand in training. No I'm not over extending, literally when I didn't warm up I was stiff so when I threw the straight Thursday I felt pain then, and again today when I threw a punch again the injury resumes but worse this time.

Listen to your trainer. But is there any brushing on your tricep?? Look in the mirror & and see if you can see anything. Additionally, determine where the pain is, near the elbow or towards your shoulder.

Press with your fingers to try to determine the exact spot.

It's near the elbow and no bruising

It's near the elbow and no bruising

It may be a tendon or ligament. Unfortunately, it takes longer to rehabilitate it. But check with a doctor, and not a trainer. It may just need ice, ice on & off, 15 min off, 15 off. And rest. Muscle hears leave bruise type indications.

Look up online exercises to rehabilitate elbow tendons & ligaments. Get healthy, first & foremost. You don't need to carry an injury going forward.

My arm today feels much better I can throw the straight but I can't throw it with power, it feels 65-70%. I'm going to keep it elevated, rest it and also stretch it. Do u know how long it'll take to heal properly roughly? I'm going to take today off but will be in the gym the rest of the week and I'll just use my right hand. It's more the middle part of the tricep by the way. I think it'll take a few days

Middle part is better. Use an empty pet bottle or an actual hot waster bottle and put it where it hurts. It increases blood flow and speeds up healing.

Look up direct pain vs referred pain online. It may help.
