Does Anyone Suffer From Chronic Tennis Elbow and Golfers Elbow??
I have suffered from chronic tennis elbow and golfers elbow in both arms for almost a year. For some reason I am not healing. 5 cortisone shots did not work and now I am on percocets and oxy contins. They take the edge off but do not take the pain away. The mornings are a nightmare because I am so stiff and seized up that I am in instant tears. I feel alone and frustrated. This is a work related injury and workers compensation doesn’t know what else to do with me. I was in physiotherapy for 8 months andwasn’tt even able to start strengthening exercises because Icouldn’tt straighten my arms. Workers compensation is now enrolling me in a pain management program. Has anyone ever been to one of these programs????I am 36 years old with two kids and my life is limited. Simple things like turning on the kitchen faucet in the morning is unbearable. Is anyone else dealing with this kind of situation???Please talk to me. I feel alone.

The Pain Management Course can’t hurt [unless you have to pay for it]
I did have some tendon pains for a couple of years at one point but the pain went away with gentle exercises.
You’ve already established that restricting or reducing mobility will worsen the pain. Consider doing breathing exercises such as Pilates this will strengthen your ability to control some pain naturally and bolster your core muscle control without aggravating the arm pains. Sounds like you’ve had too many injections, where they all sanctioned by your Doctor?
