I may be looking at surgery on my left elbow in the near future too,, I think I have just about wore it out.. Its my casting arm too, which really makes it tough

Murphy's Law

best of luck.  

if i may make a suggestion;

waiting too long increases the damage.  the sooner you have it checked out, the better off you will be.

keep us posted.  i think we who suffered fishing related injuries provide a real service to the members.

it helps to remember that even with bass fishing their can be too much of a good thing

Good Luck Avid. I hope everything goes well for you and that you have a successful surgery and as speedy a recovery as possible. You'll be back stickin' pigs in no time.

I hope the recovery is a quick one Avid.  I know by now that you are anxious already to get back on the water.  My prayers go out to you!
