I went to the gym this morning, on the theory that a 12:30 doctor's appointment left room for that before, and maybe not after given what 12:30 was likely to mean. It's a good thing I put some nuts in my bag, and ate them before signing in at the doctor's office, since 12:30 turned out to mean about 1:45.
She thinks the annoying thing with my elbow is acute inflammation rather than chronic, and wants me to take a prescription NSAID for a week, and avoid any upper body work at the gym for the same amount of time. She also took blood for some tests, to rule out other possibilities. (And she wants me to have some other routine stuff done.) She did give me the prescription for physical therapy I wanted, on the theory that the PT would teach me good habits of movement for that arm.
Under the circumstances, I'm glad I got in a proper (by my definition) workout this morning, though I think there's enough lower-body and core stuff to satisfy me for a trip or two to the gym in the next week. ( details of this morning's workout )
