Why Does My Elbow Feel Fatigued?

Hi I was boxing with my personal trainer tonight and she had me throwing elbows. It didn t hurt at all when I was working out. But noticed a buise on my elbow at the end of my work out. By the time i got home, it got bigger. I iced it for 15 mins...and now my forearm and hand feel a little strange. Not really numb...but very fatigued feeling. I keep wanting to shake my hand to make it feel normal. Is this a problem???

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Your training session has left you with this bruise over the elbow.Now the elbow has nerves running close to the joint. The injury and swelling has given a kind of shock to a nerve and this can leave you with a feeling of weakness for a while. Please continue icing and move the elbow gently. This should be temporary and you should be back in action soon.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. George Verghese, Orthopedic Surgeon
