Has anyone ever suffered tendinitis of the forearm or elbow from shooting too much? It's like tennis elbow, and goes through the forearm.
I engage in lots of weightlifting and shooting. By my estimate, I shot maybe 100,000+ rounds every year, for the last two years. I have memberships to three ranges, with one range open late, so I can shoot after work; so, I shoot 3-4 times a week. I've never shot this much prior to the last two years because I was either really poor (college) or really busy (building business).
I sometimes will get tendinitis from weightlifting, but never as bad as I have it now. I don't think this tendinitis is from weightlifting because the pain isn't triggered by gripping a barbell or dumbell, rather it is triggered by lifting a rifle or pistol and pulling the trigger.
Anyone else experience tennis elbow, tendinitis, or repetitive stress symptoms from shooting too much? Shooting yourself in the forearm or elbow from a ND doesn't count, btw.
