Shit oly..if I only knew.. It rained all morning and I had to delay my training. I was running on the side of the road earlier this afternoon and slipped in some mud. I went down so fast I didn't have time to fall correctly. I jarred my elbow and now it hurts like hell.
What's your recommendation? I hate pills with a passion.

Rest. Ice. Compression. Elevation.
Well I'm laying here in my skivvies and I have been using ice and I have an ace bandage wrapped around it... hmm... elevation... it's above my left arm so I guess that counts?
I like to read in the evenings, gets my eyes tired and makes it easier to fall asleep.
I go through a book in about a week and been doing it for many years. Started with a western author, Louis Lamour liked his writing so I real all his books.
But that's how it started, I go to ebay and search an authors name and "lot of" and continue to do it till I have read all their books. I've done that with several authors over the years but couldn't find another good western author until just recently I found William Johnston, The guy has been writing for years and has several series.
I'm working on a lot of 38 of his books I got for $50 and I have enjoyed every one of them.

dude, tell me about it! when i was taking 6 classes, i only had time to run at 11pm, one night out, i was running and ran into a damn huge pot hole and freakn sprained my ankle big time! shit was no joke! i wanted to throw up from the pain, i had to walk home on that bum ankle, once i got there it was like a grapefruit, got a 5 gallon bucket, filled up with water and ice and dunked it in... Man that has got to be the worst ankle sprain i ever had and i played football in high school and college, so ive seen my share of injuries and pain...
you know for the pain, i was trimming my plants last week which are still in veg and put the trimming inside of a 70% alcohol bottle and let it sit for two days. i get real bad upper back spasms, i told my girlfriend to put some on it and the pain went right away after about 5 minutes... felt great and i would recommend that if you are going the homeopathic way like me... i dont like pills and big pharm drugs... also, have you iced it? If not, get yourself some ice in a bag or one of those reusable ice packs they sell at walmart, wrap it up nice and snug and leave it on for about 20 minutes.
i would recommend to anyone who is physically active one of these, it works great for all the knots in those worked muscles

this little sucker works great and you add a foam roll to the mix and you got recovery written all over it....
if you need anymore help feel free to pm... i got a boat load of knowledge

any time you ice an injury always make sure to try and keep it above your heart... if it is down below the heart, you are forcing blood which you do not want to the site of the injury which in turn increases swelling, pain and discomfort. the time you do want a lot of blood is about 2 days post injury in order to get all those WBC's and toxins and scar tissue out... you accomplish this by adding some heat therapy, preferably ultrasound heat therapy... the ultrasound heat therapy works great and deliver's heat deep into the joint or muscle and to places normal heat packs do get, although that depends on the injury
Did you hear something pop when you fell?
ANything look out of the ordinary?
what is the pain level?
what have you done so far for it?
how long has it been since this happened?
do you have full ROM(range of motion)?
do you get any pain while going through the ROM?

In Cold Blood by Capote. That little bastard scared the shit out of me!
The summer I read that I was on my Great Aunt and Uncle's hog farm. I thought someone was going to come and kill us every night. AND it had a outhouse or you used a honey bucket at night. Those were the days.
