My Elbow Is Aching After the Basketball Game Yesterday

For God’s sake, it happens to me again. My elbow is slightly injured during the game yesterday. I was trying hard to snatch the ball from my opponent. However, not to be smugly, I was the only female among the others. Yeah-yeah-yeah. The rest are guys who are all stronger, taller and huger than me – I’m the smallest amongst them. I was playing the basketball with a group of HULKs. Ha-ha.

To be frank, it’s always a difficult and tiring task to seize the ball from them. They gripped the ball so firm and strong. And sometimes, I could barely hit the ball. However, when I was the one who carrying the ball. People would easily snatch it from me. God. It’s not fair. Anyway, I kept trying my best to grip any chance of scoring the points even though sometimes I did screw it up by the end.

There’re a few times I tried to block one of the opponents who carried the ball and intercepted him from moving forward to his shooting lane. By occasionally, I quickly stretched out my arm, thinking of snatching the ball which was bouncing at lower height right in front of me. I did it, with my full energy. When I almost hit the ball, the guy seemed to know what I was going to do and therefore, he attempted to protect the ball by stretching his muscular arm out too and instantly, our arms were both collided head on – the ball was sandwiched right in the middle of our hands. The force was so strong to my arm until I could felt a slightly ache in my right elbow. Ouch. It’s hurt! I shrieked. Holding my elbow. Everyone was so gobsmacked as though I really broke my arm.

I quitted in the middle of last game. Another teammate was replaced me and the game continued. I sat on the bench aside, watching the match going on while exercising and massaging my elbow gently. It’s getting really pain everytime when I twist it or applying stronger force right to it.

It’s honestly not a very serious injured I think. It’s merely a minor one. Still, I’m gonna take good care of it as I don’t really want it to get into more serious by the end. Well, I will have another basketball session tomorrow after work. So I really hope my elbow would recover soon. Bless me!
