God, just keep picking from the friggin' elbow! ;) Nobody here is a psychic(that I know of), so, you'll have to find out yourself if you're gonna end up injured.
You obviously feel that changing your technique is too much of an effort, so, maybe in your case it doesn't really matter? You decide.

It's only logic that movements that introduce less stress to muscles will be less likely to cause injury. This is more or less a fact, and none of us onhere can decide what will be best for you. If you really want to know, I suggest you consult a physical therapist.
