    My friend/roomie did this about 11 yrs ago in high school. She got a numbing cream for it from the dermatologist. You should be able to get it prescribed still. She got her legs done.. she went the first session without cream and said it hurt like crazy.. but then after they gave her the cream she said she barely felt anything at all. I'd never do this without the cream, but I'm a wimp with pain. LOL.

    I've never done a challenge before so I had a question. Is this supposed to be a freestyle or should we choreograph our song we choose? Or does it not matter? I'm just wondering if there are other "rules" I don't know about. Thanks. 🙂

    Hey, all of these are great suggestions. Mine is a little about recovery and more about possible prevention. I've never had "tennis elbow", but I came accross this thread and I might be able to help you. I am very much into health by way of nutrition and read up on it quite a bit. I think this may be able to apply in this instance as well as what the original posts are about.

    Omega 3. Either from fish oil/flax oil/krill oil/cod liver oil. The article's I'll link to are about Flax specifically, but that is only because they have a preference for it as it's about Omega 3. Some people have problems with one or more of those oils (ie, fishy burps) and prefer one over the other. I will say if you can handle any of the fish versions they will be better as our bodies need to convert ALA into DHA & EPA with the flax oil/seeds. Any of the fish ones will already be converted before consumption. As for dosing, I'd read the article and decide how much is best for you. It may take a tiny bit of experimenting, but overdosing is unlikely so don't worry about that.

    I know it sounds a little silly, but Omega 3's help drastically with our joints among many other things.

    *Also a helpful tip is that Omega 3's (flax or fish) heal gum disease. If you have bleeding gums take at least 2 tbls/day and it should go away pretty quickly. 🙂

    Here are a few excerpts: 

    He re-injured his back pulling a small tree uphill.

    Usually, it takes at least a week for the pain to go away.  I have trouble sitting, walking, and so forth.  That day, because I read http://blog.sethroberts.net/2007/11/05/omega-3-and-sports-injuries/, I immediately upped my flaxseed oil to a total of 15 1000mg capsules.  The next day, there was nearly no pain at all.  I could bend over and touch my toes with only the slightest pain.  The day after that, I was back to normal.

    Later he added some details:

    I took 15 capsules of flaxseed oil to see what would happen. There was no immediate benefit that I felt that day, but the next day it was great. Even sitting or the slightest bending can cause a lot of pain, but I was able to bend over and nearly touch my toes. I took another 10 capsules that day as well. The day after that, I was completely pain free. I took more flaxseed oil capsules even though I was experiencing no pain at all. I expected the pain to come back, but it didn’t. From then on, I would just take my normal two flaxseed oil capsules . I was spacing them out, 5 at a time in between meals.
