I have been told to stop lifting my children with my right hand. I have to do everything with my left hand. Wood further said about the elbow injury- It was a different kind of injury. I had some pain in my back, and I got scans done due to a strain in the elbow, which is not uncommon for fast bowlers. I thought maybe I would need an injection and I would be fine, but they scanned the elbow and found a strain. I was probably playing with it so much that it happened.
