Hey,

I’ve had pain in my elbow for a week now, that’s been getting worse. Over the weekend especially - despite the fact I was completely rested. Also some swelling has started.

Today I went to a Dr who was very un-sympathetic and barely examined the elbow. He shrugged at it and said "it had only been a week", must be tennis elbow and didn’t seem to hurt that much. Despite me insitsting it hurt more at night than early morning (my appt. was 8.30am) and it had stopped me sleeping all night. He said to take ibruprofen for a week or two and more or less shoved me out the door.

Trouble is - looking online it states tennis elbow is very rarely accompanied by swelling. Also said it should be given complete rest from whatever hurt it. But I think mine is caused by typing and he told me to carry on as normal.

And I also don’t know if I can resume my gym activities that I paused over xmas and was about to start up.

Any help appreciated.
