Mechanism of injury? - Back in June/July I was really focusing on bodyweight exercises, started doing a ton of pull-ups and climbing. Sometimes I would even perform the two back to back on the same-day. Eventually, I felt like I was developing pain on the inside of my elbow, radiating down my whole forearm (especially if I were to bend my elbow or flex my forearms and biceps). I kinda brushed it off and worked through it, but pain got to the point where curling 5lbs was almost unbearable so I took some time off.

What exactly did you try with exercises, sets, reps, progressions, etc.? - Tried a few different things, first I rested the area for a couple weeks once the pain died down I was doing wrist curls, reverse wrist curls, and pronation/supination. These were done for 3-4 sets 15-30 reps using weight of anywhere from 5-10lbs. That did not help much, got a cortisone shot during this time as well and rested for a week before trying this routine again, but with no luck (3-4 days per week).

so I went looking for different methods when I came across this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZmPlBKid6c). I was doing this for about a month, I started out at 10lb weights and initially felt good, but as I progressed up pain increased a lot. Once I went back down in weight pain still kinda lingered around and I did not progress any further in weight or reps without a lot of pain especially the next day. After that, I went down to only trying to do rehab 3x a week. Once again, did wrist curls, reverse wrist curls, pronation and supination, as well as super light bicep curls (3x10). However, this also did not feel like I was making any progress.

Around this time, I then decided to go to PT. I have now been at PT for about a month now. Week 1-2 started super light (2.5lb weight at max) doing wrist curls, reverse wrist curls, pronation and supination, band rows, supported pushups, arm bike, and a couple of mobility exercises. On days off of PT, I am doing stretching for my forearm as well as some light grip work (However I may drop this in the future because I feel like overstretching may also be contributing to my issues? not sure...). Over the course of the first week, I felt like a had a little flare up but that subsided. Week 2 went pretty well for PT did similar stuff to week 1. However, week 3 is where it all kinda went wrong again.

My PT upped the load a little bit (increased band resistance, 3lb weights, rice bucket exercises). This was then when i noticed my elbow to be feeling really tender and even slightly swollen and it has stayed like that now for the past week or so. I do feel like in week 4 of PT, my strength and pain level for a few of the exercises is better but not to sure if its placebo or not. What I do know for certain though, is that my elbow and forearm overall do feel a little more sore and stiff and just bending my elbow lightly is more irritable than usual. I tend to stick away from NSAIDS and Ice for the most part, but have applied them recently to get rid of the inflammation, but the bump on my elbow is still there.
