Flexor pronator strain: Signs, symptoms and treatment of this elbow injury

A flexor pronator strain is a common elbow injury in baseball pitchers. It is a strain or tear of the origin of the flexor-pronator muscles off the medial epicondyle, or the bony prominence many know as “the funny bone.” These muscles flex the wrist and pronate the forearm, or turn the palm toward the floor.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A FLEXOR PRONATOR STRAIN
A flexor pronator strain can either result from an acute event or can develop as a result of overuse. You might remember a specific throw where you felt sharp pain on the medial side of your elbow. Or you might not remember a specific injury but notice pain there that gets worse with continued pitching. Your pain will usually be located just below the bony prominence on the inside of your elbow. You might have pain flexing your wrist or pronating your forearm.
DIAGNOSIS
If you see an orthopedic surgeon or sports medicine physician, he will likely order an x-ray, even though it is usually unremarkable. An MRI can show a strain or tear of the tendon as well as rule out an injury to the ulnar collateral ligament, also known as the Tommy John injury.
TREATMENT OF A FLEXOR PRONATOR INJURY
Usually a flexor pronator strain resolves with rest from pitching to give the tendons time to heal. Ice and physical therapy can also be helpful to decrease the athlete’s symptoms. As the pain improves, the pitcher will be started on a long toss program prior to returning to full pitching. Occasionally a complete tear of this tendon could require surgery.
If you have suffered a flexor pronator strain, watch the video to learn more about this elbow injury, the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and return to pitching.

For most of my life, my sports injuries were lower body related. But, since starting VR fitness 3 years ago (I love it!), I've had to learn my upper body like never before. Currently suffering my first even elbow-related injury... likely from overuse in VR. I've felt what you describe before, by this feels deeper, like in the space between the back of the connecting bones and diminishing overall strength and stability of movement. Not severe pain or disability, so just resting it. Thanks for the informative video!

@roberttober1307 2 жыл бұрын

Absolute must is rest maybe even a splint/ strap, depending on severity. Then after a few days try gentle stretching and very light gentle muscle movement, repeat, rest, stretch blood supply, muscles heal about 4 weeks bones 8 weeks tendons 12 weeks and ligaments 16 weeks. Don’t rush it . If pain is really severe stationary or you have a functional deficit ice you can’t move a finger no matter how much you try, you may need surgery as injury may be complete tear/ rupture. Good luck all.

Thanks for identifying my injury. About 4-5 weeks ago I started having pain in the forearm from the inside of the elbow depending on which way I moved my wrist or forearm. I do not recall anything that caused this. Possibly overuse doing yard work and various chores around the house.The pain was worse when I would hold onto my forearm just t above the wrist and turn the wrist or elbow. The pain was manageable and I was able to do some things. I didn't dare swing a golf club , but tried casting a fishing rod successfully after a week or so. I then aggravated the injury by trying to open a hatch on the boat that was stuck by putting 2 fingers in a hole and pulling upward. There seemed to be two popping sounds or sensations on on both sides of the inner elbow and It was pretty painful. I put ice on it and heat alternately along with alternating between advil and tylenol 2-4 times a day. After a few days the pain seemed to go back the original pain that I had. I continued to use the hand and arm with occasional irritation for about a week & 1/2 . The last few days was the least pain I have had since I pulled on that hatch. Today I wasn't even thinking about this injury and tried to adjust a big table umbrella by grabbing it with one hand (like a baseball bat ) and picking it straight up. This wa a singular poor sensation from the bone directly under the elbow down the arm toward the wrist. This was very painful and I have been icing it every few hours. Now certain movements are extremely painful. I'm thinking about going to an emergency room tomorrow, if the pain hasn't subsided.

I got it from drinking a 12-pack of Corona and trying to carry a 36" Sony Trinitron TV to my upstairs by myself so my kids could hook up the old Nintendo and play duck hunt. The TV is a monster. The Corona beer was the courage. And now I find it hard to pick up a piece of paper without screaming pain. Lesson learned. The pain is located right by my funny bone. And it is the most miserable pain in the world. Feels like pliers pulling on my muscles from the elbow. So let that be a lesson. Get help moving old tube TVs.

This happened to me as a kid when I was pitching in baseball. I put a lot of pressure on myself to be the best. When I was pitching at a game I threw a pitch that hurt a lot, but It was a strike. I didn’t want to mess it up as it was one of my first games as a pitcher. I threw another and started jumping around in agony. I couldn’t throw a baseball for 6 months after that. I probably tore it but never went to the doctor.

Hi Doc, I'm 45 and never had arm issues but I'm pretty sure it's the flexor pronator. I pitched 2 weeks ago but played catcher last week and I started feeling pain after a throw down to second base (which was actually on point but my 2B was out of position). I was able to throw a tiny bit more during the rest of the game, but I'm in between weeks and looking to heal up. I'm resting it now, but any nutrition and/or stretches for a speedy recovery would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This video just confirmed that it’s my mouse at work doing this. I’ve always had a thumb ball mouse but my coworker had a thumb ball mouse that had optional heights. The way you described the rotation of the palm to lay flat and how it attaches to the elbow nailed my forearm pain. I realized that while I was off for a week for the holidays I didn’t have any forearm pain till I had to use my mouse for updating my insurance. The pain instantly came back. I have to find another mouse that doesn’t cause me to rotate my wrist the way this one does.

On July 25th of this year, I hit a drive and I had a lightning strike of pain in the area you are talking about. I couldn't believe the pain, it was 10 on the scale. Doctors said that I had tendonitis and gave me a cortisone shot. They didn't listen when I told them that I'm sure I tore something. The cortisone shot did nothing, after 3 weeks I told the Dr. that I think more testing should be done so he ordered an ultra sound. It shows a frayed tendon so he recommends physio , after several treatments I started developing tendonitis on the outside of my elbow joint and still have pronator pain . I am going to talk to the Dr. on Monday about PRP treatment which he recommended. So after 3 and a half months my elbow is in worse shape than when I injured it. I'm glad I saw your article on KZfaq. No Dr. ever mentioned what you described and that's exactly my problem. Thanks so much for posting this. Love 💗 and peace ✌️☮️

Thank you Dr David for describing exactly what I am suffering from. Mine came gradually from working out in the gym. I can't pinpoint which exercise caused it, it just got gradually worse. It's a very strange injury. For example, I flat fly with 26kg dumbbells and it's the initial lifting them on to my knees before lying flat on the bench that gives me the most pain. Once I'm doing the exercise, I suffer from no discomfort. I only get the pain when I'm moving my arm. Also, when I bend my arm with my fist up to my shoulder, there's barely any pain when I prod and poke the inflamed area. By the way, great to see you're a Liverpool FC fan. That's my team and I was born there.

I was at a Christmas Party last night and after a few drinks the guys and I decided to have an Arm Wrestling competition.. I found myself paired up with a pretty evenly matched opponent when I decided to give it everything I had, that’s when i felt a POP in my forearm near the elbow.. There was no pain, so foolishly I tried again but realized i had no strength in my forearm which felt like it would snap if I continued.. Afterwards, foolishly again we all decided to go downstairs to the gym and lift weights.. Bench pressing (250-300 lbs), curlings, push ups, chin ups, clean press, and although I was able to complete all the movements there was a bit of discomfort in my elbow.. I woke up the next morning with a stiff arm, I could curl my arm towards me but found it difficult to open and stretch out my forearm, as there was a sharp pain in the elbow, there is no bruising and i am capable of moving my arm but there is discomfort and a bit of a sharp pain if i try to carry or lift something heavy.. Hoping this isn’t serious and will heal soon..!?

great video, dr Geier. My injury on the flexor pronator was due to overuse and somewhat calcified or arthritic funny-bone area (over 20+ years of use) which made the ligament pop back and forth over the tip of the elbow, hence the strain and eventual small tears. Time to visit a surgeon. :-)

pretty sure I just did this to myself last evening, tripping on my shoelaces and taking the brunt of the impact on my right arm. It's really painful but not so bad to suspect a break or fracture so I don't plan to see a doctor

@aster11111 2 жыл бұрын

My doctors haven't given me a diagnosis, when i went to the er for the pain, they only told me it was a mucles sprain and was from overworking my arm, they told me to take pain killers and keep my arm in a medical wrap, it's been 3-4 weeks and it's getting worse, i've gone to my family doctor about this aswell and she said the same thing. So this video was informative but absolutely useless in helping for recovery.

I have managed to strain this muscle and the medial tendon from doing poorly controlled knee-ups on a high bar at crossfit. My back muscles should have been taking the load but they're not strong enough so they weren't engaged and my hands and forearms took the load. I now have months of rehab ahead of me. Not only can I not do crossfit for a while but I am in constant pain with this. Even exercise bike cardio makes it throb and I'm not even using my arms doing that! NSAIDs are my friend right now.

I have been injured for about 6 months now. Pain in my elbow, inside and outside. All cause of arm wrestling 1 time. I still go to the gym, i try to not overload it but i just want it to go away. Anyone with experience here? I would really appreciate it! (im not into the sport of arm wrestling, just did it with a friend and i thing I just overloaded my elbow way to much... The thing is i don't really feel it when im actually working out, but always after exercising when my body is cooling down. But ALSO when i just have a rest day, didn't do any exercise or anything with my arm. Even then i have pain...

What I can only do is describe the elbow situation as on the outside of the elbow or pain situated in the muscles /ligaments in the joint area. It occurred while making a tennis shot. I'm in my sixties and usually get over these pains as I have with the other tennis elbow epicondilitis pathology. What's a mother to do???
