OT - but I really hurt my elbow.

Funny thing is I have no idea how.

But my elbow is really swollen and it hurts up the shoulder way and my fingers are less nimble.

Strange huh?

I don't think I even hit it wrong at all.

May be arthritic. If I don't see improvement by the end of day tomorrow, I will go see doc.

Sea tells me she got fluid on hers. That could be it as well. Strange thing though this is. Haha.

inflamed and fill with more fluid and hurt like the dickens. My mom had it in her shoulder, but it can happen at most any joint. Go to this website and see if the symptoms fit:
