Elbow injury

Well, I know I'm going to get flak for being a puss, but I figure this is still the best place to go for help with this problem. I seemed to have seriously messed up my elbow as a result of pushups... I used to do like 800 or so a day, and now if I do more than 50 a day my elbow starts to hurt a whole lot and just gives out.

I tried staying off it for a couple weeks, but a few days into my routine (only 200 or less a day) the pain came back. So now I'm kind of torn... Should I just stay off it for like a whole month and accept the fact that I'll fall way behind where I was? Or has anyone else ever experienced anything like this and know of something better?

Thanks

no dumbass, you should go to a doctor. sounds like some ligament trouble.

chomp on some motrin, relax a little and don't try to do 200 pushups a day for a while.

Apparently its tendonitis and it should go away with some rest. So no pushups for a while.

Thanks for the help

Just a little update... After not doing a single pushup for over 2 weeks I did my first 50 yesterday and 100 today (making sure to hydrate thoroughly all day) without any trouble, though my max is down to 50 now. But I've got 4 months left so that won't be an issue.

I received some intel on how you really hurt your elbow. It was at a Hockey game, wasn't it?
