A while back I hyperextended my elbow in BJJ. Took a week or two to heal and to this day it still feels "tweeked." This was at least 5 months ago.

When I try to fully extend my elbow during the exercises it slightly hurts but I'm still able to do it.

Anyone know any good rehab?

BTW, it wasn't because I didn't tap to an armbar. :D

Elbows are particularly slow to heal. It is not unusual for them to require 12-18 months to fully heal. Unfortunately I speak from personal experience.

Thanks Coach, I won't do anything stupid and just I'll wait it out.
