Knot in elbow.

[13Mirch]

Theres this sort of stiff knot in my right elbow. Its like all the flesh is joined together and does not move. Its very weighty. Because I do karate I practise my punches but from a few days whenever I try to punch this knot hurts quite a lot. I am afraid I might rip some ligaments. How do I take it out? Through massaging or do I click my bones?

You need to find an athletic therapist or if not a chiropractor. It's safer to check it out, much less time consuming than rehab from a ligament rip or a tendon rupture.

Does the joint click at all on its own? does it feel like its locking up, or not able to go the full range of motion? Does it hurt only during practice or continue afterwards as well? Sharp pain, radiating, pins and needles? Have you ever had this injury before?

[13Mirch]

Nope.

Nope.

it could just be congealed blood from a bruise, still worth checking out at the doctors at the very least.

Isn't that normally supposed to happen on to your wrists....rather than your elbow?
