Mountain Cur I really over did it on a couple of practice sessions and got my bow arm elbow really hurting, I have played sports for years and knew it was not an " injury" , nothing popped, nor was there any immediate pain, the pain came the second night. I would take both Navy' s advice if you are sure it is not an injury, or go with what cableguy is saying and see a doc if you are not sure. I know you do not want to hear this but stop practicing until you are pain free and as navy said do not take pain killers and then practice because it doesn' t hurt, you will just make it worse. My elbow is still a bit tender but far better now, I took the advice navy gave and it has helped me a lot, but remember I have played a lot of sports over the years and know the difference between a tear, a sprain, and a simple over worked muscle.
