Stretching Advice

[ehirsch83]

does your arm hurt after you ride?
It sounds like the exact same pain as when I had bursitis of the shoulder(but it could be a million different things!)
I would get it looked at if you can,
or look into strengthening exercises for the shoulder,upper back, tri's,bi's. And start out with small little 1lb pound weights and work your way up.

doc or PT would be a good idea I think

in the meantime, don't forget ice and heat, usually alternating....and, yes, those exercises!

Put on a tennis-elbow strap. (drugstore) I get that same tendinitis when I use the touchpad on my laptop too much instead of the mouse. The strap around the arm just below the elbow really helps support the tendon.
