Tennis elbow sucks..?
Had tennis elbow, supposidly ( i dont know if the doctor really knows what hes doin) Any way after about 8wks of dealing with it and wearing this arm band, he decides to give me a cortisone shot. HURT worse for 4 days, now day 5 the side effect"flare" is going away, but no relief from the cortisone for the original pain. Will it kick in? Any one else have tennis elbow and do PHYSICAL labor for a living? Thats the part that really sucks….
Thanks

I have the same problem, except i work in the medical field and will not get a cortisone injection, because they are extremely painful and I’m not into that!!!! I have an aircast and exercises they gave me, it has helped but i still have some sort of pain everyday. I am considering going to a hand specialist ( they also handle elbows) GOOD LUCK. Most of the time cortisone is only short term anyway, I have heard of very few people that cortisone has really helped
It should have stopped right after he gave you the shot.Maybe you have tendenitis.
I have tennis elbow and I never got a shot for it but I had some therapy that I had to do at home. If you are careful and follow what you are told by the doctor you should be fine.
I’m a student and actually got it from writing too much. Take this cocktail of vitamins and in like 6 weeks you should notice and improvement (i know it seems like a long time, but that’s just the nature of the beast).
- MSM (1000 mg tablets)
- glucosamine sulfate (500mg) & chondroitin sulfate (400mg) - should be moxied in the same pill
- Flax (1000 mg)
- Devils claw
Take the cocktail around the same time once a day. Good luck!
