Thank you my man, sound advice!

Cool Scrap, I think you may be right. I could neither spar nor sleep last night. The medicine I'm taking is diafine and rubbing on a gel called Fastum gel. The gel actually kills the pain, hopefully the diafine will take down inflammation. Stretching I haven't tried, but as Monkey said, loosening it with rotation works gradually.
Any links Scrap?

Lito:
Funny thing is, when I train it warms up and it can be fine, when I lay off it stays cold and it's agony. If it was my right I wouldn't hesitate competing but it's my left. I set up everything off my jab and my hook is my pride and joy.
But the problem is it hurts to even slip. I missed out on the same finals last year because of a similar injury.

Sharla:
I knew you'd know all about injuries
Thanks for the advice and support.


To everybody, this has been a real crisis for me, I really appreciate all your help, this is why Saddo's is great.
I can honestly say I f I miss out on this competition I will be absolutley gutted. I've put everything into this fight, pretty much 7 days a week for the last 3 months. As I said earlier if it was my right I'd compete in a second, but it's my left and I sorel;y need that. Much of my defence is blocking with my left elbow and forearm too so....
Well...I'm going to a doctors tonight. I'll consider acupuncture too, if any of you reccommend it?
I'll do anything to compete. The scary thing is, I've been warning Hulk of Trenabol for a while, but If someone came to me and said If you take this now you can compete as your normal self, but you'll never turn pro....I think I'd still take it.
