It was very common in my elbow, especially when I started throwing harder. My buddy had the same stuff. Stiff, tight, sore all happen a lot, but it's no big deal, just the arm doing something it's never done before. Yes! It was very common in my elbow, especially when I started throwing harder.

I think the fact that I could exercise earlier and did a lot of Bikram yoga helped. Immediately after those activities my arm would be less swollen and more freely moving, so I credit them with helping the swelling go down fast. I was able to start lifting at 6 weeks, and my elbow looked and moved pretty normally by then, but I wouldn't be discouraged if yours doesn't. Everyone is different and every body heals itself at a different rate. And chances are, if you can move it fully, then there probably isn't too much swelling inside, because that hinders the movement. It might just be that you're used to it being larger. Mike,
