Orthopedic HELP NEEDED! Please tell me what this can be so I can bring it up to my ignorant doctor?
I have been suffering from tendinitis and tennis elbow of the forearms and elbows for over 3 years off and on, but mostly on. Everything I do to heal it seems to be only a temporary fix and it always returns, always…I’ve done physical therapy, cortisone injections, surgery, rest from work, you name it. I even paid some shmuck .00 online for information on how to heal it but it was only illustrations of the exercises that I already do at therapy. My elbows also hurt INSIDE the joint. I am totally beside myself and need help. I have asked for an MRI to hopefully reveal the problem but have gotten denied. I am in the process of trying to find a doctor that will approve one, but doesn anyone know what this is? I am willing to do anything to permanently cure this condition. I believe that there is a solution for everything and that it only needs to be found. Someone out there must know what is wrong with me or have somewhat of an idea so that I can research it further. Help!
This is a workers comp injury from 2004 and it is difficult to find a doctor that will take it. I know you are going to tell me to just find a new doctor but it isn’t that easy. I just want to know what this could be so I can bring it up to my present doctor.

Sounds like you have multiple things going on and not just tennis elbow and tendonitis. I also have joint aches and found out I have arthritis. I am not a doctor, but having gone thru the same myself on trying to find a doctor to help me after having 2 MRI’s done and was misdiagnosed and went thru alot of therapy, I ended up going to my family physician for help and insisted on having an Xray. That Xray showed I had osteo arthritis in my hip, when I was originally diagnosed with spinal stenosis and degeneration in my vertebrae. Try your own doctor and don’t give up. That is what helped me. Good luck.
My husband healed his by using vitamins. I would contact a natural healing person. Oh and it’s the insurance companies that deny MRI’s not the Dr.’s! Watch the documentry Sicko!!
Usually nerve conduction studies are done to rule out carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel and De Quervain’s disease. These problems are usually associated with low level but repetitive trauma such as typing or playing piano for long hours. I would ask the doctor if he has ruled these diagnoses out.
A friend of mine suffered tennis elbow and had been having treatment but it just didn’t work for her as like you, it only heals temporarily.. Therefore she went to a Chinese medicine man who runs an acupuncture clinic, but the man didn’t perform any acupuncture on her. He massaged the pain area, apply some chinese medicine and bandaged it and within a couple of days she recovered.
