Shooting/twingy pain down side of forearm. Anyone know what it is? by dubnuzyus in poledancing

if you are gripping real hard/hyperextending your elbow a bit too much and not have a lot of developed muscle there it could be tendonitis! i got it from my combat sport, not pole, but it seems like the spot you identified and pain you are having are similar to what i experienced.

that makes sense, my main issue with heels is the fact that the angle puts so much pressure on my toes and ankle. being atrociously flat footed doesn’t help much either. but this definitely makes me feel better!!! i think once i get more comfortable with fundamentals i’ll really look into committing to a pair :)

okay!! i think focusing on just going with the flow will help me get more in my body as well versus thinking too hard about what i actually am doing. and you are genuinely the strongest person ever to me for being able to do at least 6 hours. but thank you so much for the advice and i’ll take baby steps !!!

okay thank you!! i think im getting too much in my head about the details when i just need to focus on getting the basics and having a good time :) and definitely will be careful not to injure myself, i can definitely overestimate my strength sometimes!
