hi guys
wondering if you could help me. i suffer with pain when i am playing in my inner elbow crease. i practise approx 4 - 5 hours per night for about 4 years. ive tried standing at the oche differently not throwing so hard but to no avail. only messes my game up. ive started using deep heat now and the guys in my team really take the p*** out of me. any help would be appreciated. thankyou tony

Wow, if you practicing 4-5 hours a night for 4 years you got one on me!

I am lucky if I get 4 hours a week at the moment so would suggest any pain may be due to over doing it.

I reckon 2 hours a night, if you not a pro would be more than enough.

Take this supplement for 1 month and I PROMISE you, your elbow will feel fine.

rest it buddy.

The supplement JD mentions is worth a try, I have been taken it myself for a long time, but I think some of my joints are beyond its help now.

What your describing could be wear and tear on either the joints or ligaments or even an aggravated nerve. The only thing I can say is to rest it for a while to see if it helps, continue with the deep heat as it wont hurt to try. Try some heat treatment, either a hot bath or heat pads. Might be a few weeks of rest before you see an improvement.

I would visit your doc though and explain the problem. Depends on what your doc is like, some are sympathetic to such problems and others may just say take a pain killer and rest it.

I always get pain in my wrist and thats all my doc said to me.

Good Luck.

General advice assuming its not a medical situation as much as an over work

use a lighter dart, gripper dart with less taper(more taper means you need a tighter grip) dont snap your arm or wrist, adjust the angle your feet point when at the ochey and focus on consistent throws rather than trying to muscle it into the spots you want
