You're right, there is something very aesthetic about it. I was thinking that the body stops looking gross & starts looking mechanical after a bunch of these videos but the way they've stripped some parts & posed the rest is what makes the function so clear.
Plot twist: The person enquiring about the arm woke up from surgery one day, with a missing right arm. The surgeon’s response was, “What can I say? You wanted us to remove your appendix…we removed your appendix.”
I had a picc line IV put in on the inside of my elbow. I know have golfers elbow from bad placement and scar tissue Sorry to hear you’re having lasting side effects Sucks doesn’t it.
Also had my arm broken, had metal through my shoulder all the way down to my elbow and shoulsve removed it after one year but my lazy ass didnt do that and at some point i got fed up and just went to the doc and didnt even mention anything other than that it has to be removed. Nobody really blamed me that i waites so long and then the operation day came, after i woke up from the anaesthetic my arm was obliterated lol and when i spoke to the doc that performed the surgery he said that he wanted to abort the Surgery after not being able to get the metal out cause my bone grew and held the metal in place so well after all this time and well but he didnt, he tried it again and told me he had to use extreme force to finally get it out lol. Now im thankful that i did all that, obv the recovery sucked but yeah.. now, all that story only to tell you one thing: go to some doctor, maybe to a differwnt one so you dont feel ashamed like me and try to get it out.. its worth it im sure 🙏✨
You have no say what happens to your body when it’s donated to science. You could end up on one of those corpse farms where they let your body rot and study it
This is awful The degeneracy in this comment is staggering! How can anyone get it so wrong! Sir, I am an expert in the field and can say with authority that wankerarm (euphemism) is a complaint of the wrist Anyone suffering Tennis Elbow from practicing extreme onanism is simply doing it wrong! Might i suggest a better, long lasting and deeply satisfying technique made famous by CREAM guitarist Eric Clapton ...SLOWHAND 💦👋
Oh shit. That's an arm. A whole goddamn arm. Like muscle, tendons, everything... Damn dude... That's legit. I missed everything you said because goddamn that's a whole arm 😐
I developed this condition years ago as an apartment building super from shoveling snow and twisting my arms to throw the snow out of the way. I looked it up in the Merck Manual I had (my substitute for the insurance I couldn't afford), went to the drug store and got forearm braces, and changed the way I was handling the shoveling. It worked and I never had the problem again.
Don't you just hate the American Health Care and health insurance system? America as a whole pays more for healthcare and gets worse outcomes than any other modern country in the world. A comment like this can only be made by somebody Living in America.
18 months for me and it still gives me some pain on odd days. Had PRP treatment towards the start of it. Wondering if stem cell surgery would do the trick?
@@paul-gomez It took 1-2 years but it finally went away. The key is really to change how you move when working/playing. My doctor talked about a form of physical therapy involving "impacts" treatment to stimulate the immune response but I didn't do it.
@@shivaraj_onlyS_to I have found that sleeping with a brace that keeps my arms from bending, helps a number of issues I have from overuse. The braces I have use a metal piece in both sides but I take out the one on the medial side which allows for _very_ light flexion of the elbow.
I don't know what to do with mine but just basically stop over using it but it flares up and the thing i have for my arm just doesn't help. I just use advil and sometimes roll on A535
I'm one of those who keep on going. Eventually while catching a softball...it shredded. I'm so grateful for the donations of those who have left this plane. L elbow like new. An incredible gift, but definitely not anything anyone should keep "getting after it." Love your body. And thank you for this page and information. Such beautifully dissected cadavers. ❤
I kept on playing with TE but the pain woke me up at 4 or 5 AM everyday and I had to ice and take PKs just to get back to sleep again. Had to lay off the racquet for like 2 or 3 months :'(
The Tendon which is often involved or mainly involved in Tennis-Elbow is the Tendon which connects the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis to the Lateral Epicondlye
Tennis and golfers elbow(which is the same as tennis elbow but on the other side) is msot often caused by either a weak shoulder that doesn’t sit in good posture during activity, and/or a weak forearm, or not enough forearm engagement, particularly not having both while lifting.
Working with cadavers helped me to better understand A&P when I was at university! Your refresher clips and videos are awesome and do HELP people, to better understand their own bodies and healing!💕
It's all about the ECRB. The extensor carpi radials brevis. Force moment through the carpal bones and somewhat to and through the extension motion of the middle finger. Has the greatest force moment in extension due to the middle finger being the longest digit. Every time you grab something(flexion of virtually all the digitorums)the opposing side moderates the flexion moments of the digits - functionally in MRIs, and mostly via the carpal attachments. So in reality - and the ECRB in intensity have to act to mediate the degree of "grasp"(so as not to crush a paper cup for example). That's why it hurts to even grab a glass of water when epicondylitis is severe. Release this sucker correctly and your client, with forearm prone similar to the cadaver arm in this video, should have their middle finger "flipping off the therapist." Not just because of the pain jokingly, but because the musculotendinous unit will shorten with applied pressure in the right amount and at the precise point near the lateral epicondyle but literally on and around the area of the myotendinous junction of the common extensor complex. Have done this successfully many times with many clients. Pressure point of release Needs to be deep and long (and applied very slowly but progressively)in duration, preferably with a very skilled elbow on the part of the therapist and opposite hand thenar eminence stabilizing the working side/limb elbow of the therapist as not to slip off the area(it sucks if you do and client won't continue). For years and years - this has always been highly efficacious to All - yes ALL - clients with a higher athletic style pain tolerance that can handle the slow, adaptive deep pressure and active release techniques. Anatomy Trains is a great book.
Interesting. I was scheduled for 2 shoulder operations about 4 years ago. I could not lift either arm higher than my waist. But, before surgery, I researched like crazy and then went to a most highly skilled PT (who works w/ Major League pitchers) and paid him to do his thing. 10 sessions later.....I'm functioning pain free. Canceled both surgeries. This was 3-1/2 years ago..... I won't be doing anymore pull-ups, but I'm a very active 67 year old. Now: Simplify what you just said above. AND are there simple exercises that will help? (I've got "Pickleball Elbow"!) :-)
@@peterb2346Not trying to make this more complex than it may or may not be, but without being there in person makes it more obscure to give accurate recommendations because I can't read your body language; ask you to move the arm/elbow in certain ways that bring about your pain, ask you to judge it's severity (1-10, 10 being tears one being just enough to know it's there) etc. That being said - the best analogy is to think of a shoe lace with a knot in it. To strengthen any muscle you obviously require that muscle to generate tension over and over with each contraction. The tighter and more often you tense that rope (or muscle), the tighter and more stubborn the knot becomes. Also - not to repeat without giving additional value or answer your question but…the actual release (rolling the lateral elbow on a hard enough ball or massage tool and or preferentially getting a good massage therapist to release it who is well trained in trigger point release to (pardon the overused simplification) - undo the knot. Then you stretch and strengthen. The “shoe lace” will be back to its original length. Combined with stretch and strength maintenance, it will be less likely to reoccur. Lots of these things are difficult to describe, easy to demonstrate. I would put a short vid in here if I could. But not trying to hi jack anyone’s channel - lol. Look up or google “self-stretches for the wrist extensor muscle groups” and or “common extensor group of the wrist.” Good luck.
My moms got tennis elbow in both arms, she’s currently out of work now because her dominant arm is completely out of service. It’s interesting to see where it’s affected and described ! Thank you
@@AkiraHartono some people are so determined to not fix their bodies that they just live with it honestly. Not saying thats the case here but it probably is since tennis elbow is fixable. Granted, most people dont take the time to look into it either
She does but iI just keeps getting worse. Her right arm isn’t as bad anymore. She worked in a hospital as a housekeeper for 15 years, constantly lifting heavy bags of trash and linen. Now she works at FedEx delivering packages, and our dog is really rough with her and he caused the start of tennis elbow in her left arm (dominant) She was on steroids for a week I believe and it didn’t help her arm. Just her knees. She is seeing a doctor. My mom is also the type of person who puts it off until she can’t tolerate it anymore. A lot of it has to do with the fact she had a shit husband who made it difficult for her to do things for herself (I.e doctor appointments)
@@syd_VonBielefeld well just so you know tennis elbow is fixable without going to the doctor. Just have her work on wrist extensor and flexor stretches for a few months
I was literally thinking about tennis elbow a few minutes ago. My elbow started hurting a couple days ago. I pulled up RU-vid on my TV just now and this was the first video on my recommended list. 😆😅😳
If anyone aside from Tennis players can relate to this it's arm wrestlers. OMG the pain. Both tennis and golfer's elbow are huge issues, more so for myself who also has an autoimmune arthritic condition which multiplies this exponentially!
Same here but it's been going for over a year now. My life has completely changed (for the worse; can't do most of the things I love because of the pain and dexterity loss), and I am desperately looking for a way out.
I transcribed medical reports for about 20 years, but I never got to see what the doctor was talking about. I'm retired now, but how refreshing to see the actual structures/parts!
I rested my tennis elbow for a year. It came back as soon as I started working out again. Anyone who works out knows that someone who will not work out for a year isn’t hardcore so it’s not that I’m over training. I just put up with it now.
You can do certain movements to strengthen these tendons. I had to regress way back in weight to overcome this. I also noticed I had a death grip on most of my barbell movements, had to adjust that. There’s some really good vids on YT on how to rehab this.
So I just had an ad on another video that had the pitch character as a decaying corpse whose arms fell off when he tried to shake hands with people. I wasn’t prepared for this video to be the sequel with a random arm just hanging out. Sort of made me twitch for a second.
There’s some good vids out there from the weight lifting crowd on how to rehab this type of injury. Watch your grip when working out, I personally always had a death grip on barbell movements. I had to drop bicep moments way down, abs basically strengthen the tendon from scratch. Resting it does nothing, it’ll come back as soon as you start up again. Look into getting this tendon stronger if you’re active. Mine was unbearable but is actually manageable now. Took about 3 months of concerted effort to get it that way. It’s something you’ll always have to pay attention to once you have it though. 💪
The pain was so annoying. It was almost 2 years but now not that painful anymore but there's still something. Im just not using that arm a lot like i used to and contant stretching and icing.
Looking at all those tendons on the back of the hand just blows me away. Whether we were created or evolved, the human body is just one incredibly insane piece of art. 🤯
i played tennis for many years (from when i was six to about twelve or thirteen) and though i never had tennis elbow i did have tendinitis in both wrists at one point !! i also knew many players who got tennis elbow
btw for those with tennis elbow something else that would help is getting some sort of roller and rolling your triceps and forearm muscles for a few minutes should provide some more relief.
I have has tennis elbow and man is it painful. I got to the point where just working the shift knob in my manual transmission car was excruciating. I ended up having to quit the job I had at the time as it was the cause. Even now over 3 years later if I lift something heavy incorrectly that pain can come shooting back.
I've had persistent pain in my left elbow for months now. I had finally gotten to a point where thought it was more or less gone and I did some lat pulldowns on this machine that also had those rock climber things as the narrow grips and those f-d me up again lol the only exercises that don't hurt are dead hangs and push ups so that's i work out my upper body for now. Not to mention my job and general life tasks that requires both arms, starting to feel my age
Gracias por darnos estos videos muy interesantes, These videos that you have provided are of valuable help. Now I understand the human body system more. Thanks to you, I really appreciate it.
Lateral epicondylitis happens with repetitive wrist extension, the opposite is called medial epicondylitis or golfer's elbow caused by repetitive wrist flexion, to relieve them you can stretch the opposite way, for example with lateral epicondylitis you stretch your wrist towards wrist flexion and hold it for about 15 seconds. Just search online I could be wrong in some part lol
I’ve had problems with both elbows for years. Tennis elbow basically is an OVERUSE injury. The repetitive motion doing gardening, painting, even ironing can cause a flare up. Then the jolt of pain when you move forearm and it reminds you to work smarter not harder next time.
Very firm pressure with your thumb, for two minutes on muscle at elbow, outside, top part. You will feel it. Stand and put your hand flat on table, and press on muscle, right under joint. You will feel the pain, when you press it. Hold as you feel fibers loose. Reposition after two minutes and continue. You're welcome.
I’m listening close but sometimes I get STRONG anxiety being reminded of mortality and that as we get older, these injuries amount to our undoing Really drives home the sense of doom 😅 10/10 info to be avoided at all times 😅 I know this got really deep but feel like the reason a lot of us love to keep so busy is so we never hear the clock ticking and start to see ourselves looking vulnerable like this
