    WAG Made the jump! But ended with broken elbow

    Ydd was working on her jump to the high bar at practice the other night. She was getting very frustrated with herself that she kept jumping and missing because all the other girls were making the jump and doing the high bar kip. It was her last turn before they had to rotate to beam, I really...

    WAG What are elbow leg lifts?

    I'm looking at Geddart's conditioning plans and this one has me stumped. I'm thinking push-up position but on elbows, then kicking feet out behind you? Is that right?

    WAG elbow OCD update

    My daughter went for her follow up MRI for the small OCD lesion on the trochlea side of her elbow and unfortunately the results were not what we (or the dr) expected. The OCD lesion/defect did not improve at all and in fact may have gotten slightly larger. Sh's been on "rest" off and on...

    WAG Elbow injury ?'s- could this be OCD? Or just strain? Or other?

    DD (age 8) woke up a week ago with pain in her elbow. Some diminished range of motion (more in the flexion but some slight decrease in extension). No injury that she could come up with. X ray was done and there was a "difference" between the right and left arm- right showed what was...

    MAG ODC of Elbow or Tendinitis

    First of all, how common is OCD of the elbow, and is there a way to rule it out? Tendinitis of the elbow is very stubborn, having trouble getting rid of it.

    WAG Elbow OCD

    I wanted to give an update on DD's elbow. She had her MRI on Wednesday and I talked to the Dr yesterday. At first all they saw was bruising near her trochlea which is on the other side of the capitellum. Then I pushed the Dr to look again and they saw a small potential lesion (again not near...

    WAG elbow clicking

    My daughter's elbow started bothering her in January (actually started in the fall then stopped for a while). She had pain while doing BHS on beam, then it started to hurt on floor and then a bit even out of the gym. I took her to an orthopedic who did an X-ray and called it Little League...

    WAG Elbow injury in gymnastics - what could it be?

    Hello! I have been to several doctors, but no one has an answer to my strange problem and all of them sent me away saying "rest 3-5 weeks and then start training slowly and carefully." So I first felt the pain a year ago. After doing chin-ups and pull-ups, I felt a light sharp pain on the...

    WAG Peeled off the bar, sprained elbow!

    Well, got my first gymnastics injury yesterday! I was on the high bar with a pit on one side and mats on the other, I was facing the pit. I simply did a kip cast and swung forward and on the back swing my grips just slipped off the bar. There was no way I could hold on! So as I was falling I...

Last night at gym, while doing a front handspring vault, as I blocked onto the vault and tried to push off, my right elbow collapsed under me and I landed on the mat.

    MAG DS fractured his elbow

    UGH! I got a call from the school nurse today. DS fell at recess, landed on his elbow. She was worried it might be broken. I got him in with his orthopedist (from his fractured ankle in the spring). Honestly, I thought that it was just a little beaten up; but still wanted it checked. Turns...

    WAG Timelines/tips for post cast removal (elbow fracture)

    Minor fracture of the elbow a few weeks ago - no pins, no displacement, or anything truly terrible. She was given the option of no cast, but I insisted, as I know she wouldn't stay off it. Three weeks later, cast is off, and there is some soreness, which doctor said is expected. She's free to...

    WAG Recommendation for Elbow Brace/Sleeve

    Does anyone have a specific recommendation for an elbow brace that allows some support without restricting movement too much? We are 8 weeks out from a broken humerus injury and very slowly starting back at the gym for modified full workouts. The physical therapist said some elbow support for...

    Dislocated Elbow

    Well, I finally received that dreaded phone call. The Fellows was doing a back walkover and landed wrong. My heart just drops when the phone rings while she is at practice. She promptly informed me I was going to have to get over that because "gymnastics is dangerous mom". So right she is...

    Last night DD hyperextended her elbow pretty bad. took her to the doctor today. No fracture, just a bad sprain. Looks like she is out of commission for a couple weeks.
