So, I went Ice skating yesterday and really sprained my elbow muscles or something. I can not extend or completely bend my arm right now. In fact, I am writing the message mostly one-handed. I can hardly yoyo right now. Has anyone else ever encountered something like this? ---

Which arm is it? If it’s your right then I don’t see how you could yoyo at all, LOL. I’ve had certain instances where my hands get so dry that they start to crack (I don’t know what’s with 'em) and I can hardly throw. Kinda gross, but you asked…LOL. ---

Irrelevant, there are lefties in yoyoing too :wink: By the way, same as above, I had come to a point, one and a half year(s?) ago, where my right middle finger was so cracked I could barely throw a yoyo. It took more than a year to fully recover, as the cracks kept re-opening. I feel like I’ve lost this year because I couldn’t yoyo as much as I wanted. ---

back in September I broke my thumb playing baseball and I could not throw normal for about halfway through October. Than on Halloween I ended up slipping and breaking my wrist which made me not throw for a while but, eventually i could move it around so I could throw a little. It does really stink not to be able to yoyo without it hurting though I hope you get better soon ---

Yeah just let it heal. You don’t want to make the injury worse. Are you participating in the tournament? ---

Kinda gross, but you asked…LOL. It is my left elbow. It hurts to make quick or awkward movements with it. Like, I can’y do an upside-down Trapeze. > [@mr.nightshadow95](#): > > Yeah just let it heal. You don’t want to make the injury worse. Are you participating in the tournament? And, yes, I am participating in the contest. :‘( :’( ---

A few years ago I got tennis elbow right before a contest. I wore a support for it, but it still made that contest a painful experience. ---

Work on looping tricks. This can be a good time to develop a stronger throw. ---
