Golfer's Elbow (a.k.a Medial Epicondylitis) - inflammation of the medial aspect of the distal humerus and tendons surrounding the medial part of the elbow due to repetitive wrist flexion activity. What Matt suffers from now from hacking away at a tree with an ax for hours at a time.
Dictator's Elbow (a.k.a. Mussolini-itis) - overall general soreness in forearm muscles and elbow joint pain due to passionately shaking fist in the air with loud yelling. Campbell seemed to develop this rare diagnosis during lunch yesterday.
Since reading the book Green Eggs and Ham, he has been shaking his fist in the air and saying (with much authority) "Sam-amaaaam!" (translation... Sam I am!) Yesterday at lunch Campbell started shaking his fist in the direction of the students and passionately told them something profound (I'm sure), and then immediately grabbed his forearm, rubbing it and saying through gritted teeth "oooohhh".
Nothing a little Rest Ice Compress Elevate can't cure. And I thought I wouldn't be using my PT skills here.
