Riding my 3-speeds and On-One Mary Bar is always painless.
Just wanted to say "Been there".

Yeah, it's been tough for her, but the elbow is finally relatively ok. Come to think of it, it's two years now as of last month! She broke it when she fell down the stairs. She put her hand out to break the fall (as many people do) and the energy from the impact with the floor traveled through the hand, up the Ulna, and cracked the tip of the ulna right in the elbow.
She has full range and use o the arm now, but anything that puts a straight load on the arm (think push-up position) still hurts her.
I hope yours heals up so you can get back out there and ride without pain.
