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.
