What workout program can i do with a Golfer's Elbow/Epicondylitis?

Hello

I have started working out 3 months ago as I've lost 35kg. I have a new body but it's lacking muscles.

I'm going at least 3 times per week, and focusing on one to two body parts per session.

It became addictive, and i went too fast, too long, too heavy, 4hr sessions (2hr of group lessons, 1h30 of workout, 30 min of stretching).

I guess this + a bad movement somewhere (i suspect it's my long series of chin) has provoked a Epicondylitis/Golfer's elbow (the inner part of the elbow), on my left arm, around 3 weeks ago. Tried to go over it, but it seems many of the upper body exercises are making my left arm "stiff", like if i had a cramp. It goes away while resting.

My doctor said that i should avoid exercises involving supination, but he remains vague.

The situation is very frustrating. Hence why i'm posting here.

- What should i do, just rest for weeks?
- If i can exercise, what sort can i do? Do you have some examples?
- I particularly like calisthenics/bodyweight exercises like pull-up, push-ups, etc, can i do them with this injury or not?
- Any advice in terms of treatment? Like massage, cream, stretching, etc?

Thanks a lot guys

Well, anti inflammatories for sure. Three 4 hour sessions a week is way more than most people do so no wonder you have an injury! I've only heard supination with regard to feet so can't offer anything there! Crunches are good, squats, lunges, yoga, cardio -running,elliptical,stair machine - any leg machine. That's all I can think of offhand.

After 3 weeks of no-to-light use of my arms (i was mostly doing legs and abs), i did a shoulders/back session today:
- longpull
- chins with "average" grip (not too close, not too remote)
- lateral raise machine
- rear delt machine
- overhead press machine
4 series of 12/10/10/8 repetitions, light to medium weight.

No insufferable pain, but still, i have a light pain in the arm, around the elbow and upper arm.

Is there an exercise i shouldn't have done?

Thanks for your advice
