10days of rest... elbow still hurts HELP PLZ
Maybe you got my first post about how i hurt my elbow playing the Nintendo wii.
I was told i might have tennis elbow and just to rest it. Here i am 10days later and its still the same if not worse.
Should i just wait or is it time to consult a doc?
Thanks.

go to a physical therapist.
Sounds like you have some tennis elbow. 10-days wont just make it go away like magic. You probably need some therapy and need to rehab a little bit.Optimum Sports Performance

the thing is this has never happened to me before. I used to play a lot of cricket and even tennis. So i have no idea how the Wii could mess me up. I guess i thought it wasn't as bad as it is...
Time to see a doctor.

part of the problem may be the velocity that you are moving the Wii controller with. Because it is pretty much weightless and the cricket stick or the tennis raquet are both slightly heavier implements, when you swing them and apply force, the fact that they are weighted plays a big part.

For future gaming, on the Wii its not necessary to wave the controller about at all for most of the games. Simple wrist movements do the trick. Even for tennis and baseball on Wii sports that you'd think would require lots of movement, imitating the actual sport, can be played sitting down in a chair using incredibly slight movements.
Make sure you take regular breaks from playing also.http://www.getlifting.info
