B7100 elbow

Egon · Nov 4, 2002

We've all heard about tennis elbow.
I beleive I have a severe case of B7100 elbow/wrist. Everytime I spend a few hours using the loader my elbows/wrists get very sore and at times requires both hands to steer. Does anyone else have that problem?
It's so bad that some evenings the hydrating bottles must be opened with a mechanical device as it hurts too much to twist off the tops.

My wrist hasn't bother me..yet..but from the upper elbow to the shoulder area I have felt aches.

Aches I believe are cause from as you wrote,which my arm held up about 45 degrees out to the side,for hours when doing extra snow removel. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Cure..try Aleve

Just wondering..do you feel any aches w/in the knees.

Thomas:
Get sore knees too. Exspecialy the left one from bracing on the dash. Got the paint rubbed off there.

/w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif I believe there is a cure!!!!! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif POWER STEERING /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

Power steering might be the cure,but for me..maybe One A Day vitamin or Centirum for people that are 50 and over..guess the Flintstone vitamin has lost there affects over the years. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Yes there is a cure but it is not covered by my Health Benifits program.
A nice new shinny orange/blue/green/yellow tractor with the features of a 3010 with backhoe would perhaps solve many problems. Fortunuately there is " She Who Must Be Obeyed" who keeps me fiscally responsible and financially solvent which is also a good thing.

Try to find a Doctor that needs some tractor work done. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Then have him write a prescription for the tractor with power steering as payment. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

EGON: i have arthritus in both hands(wrist) and a few other places i am sure. when i had my old ford the steering and the clutching , just wore me out, finally it is what made me buy my 2400, power steering, hydro etc. my wrist still hurt but not nearly as much as horseing that old ford around.. guess 40 years of yanking on pipe wrenches did not help either/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif
