Effective Tennis Elbow Treatment
I want my tennis elbow to heal, and I am wondering if anyone with the proper medical knowledge can please tell me how long it is going to take? I am so sick and tired of this agonizing pain, because I am not able to live a normal life because of my tennis elbow.
Thanks in advance!
Best answer:
What would be the best way to have my tennis elbow be a little bit better for a tournament tomorrow (Jul 20-23)? I’m considering icing it and rubbing it with some muscle relief. Quick and precise answers are appreciated.
And also, when im actually playing, how could i try and "calm down" my tennis elbow when it "acts up" again?
Bree-lol you were right bout my backhand grip. it was wrong (i partially had my hand not on the grip itself like two fingers) and my coach corrected it yesterday lol
I got injured at work in 2004, which has progressively resulted in tennis elbow in both of my arms today. I had both arms operated on this year to try to correct the tennis elbow. I hired a workers comp lawyer to help me along with the paperwork and hearings and stuff about my case. She told me that 1 year after my last surgery, the doctor will assess the degree of disability left in my arms and assign a monetary reward, and that after that reward is given that worker’s comp is no longer responsible to fund my injury. Is this correct? My arms are still not healed and I may have a problem with this for the rest of my life (God forbid). What if I need further physical therapy in the future, or am forced out of work again because it is flaring up, they won’t take any further responsibility after funding a reward? I don’t even want the reward, I want my arms healed, but if they need further treatment in the future, I want to know it will be there. Please let me know. Thanks!
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.
I had an MRI done on my elbow. I have pitched for a few years and was alerted that I had an osteochondrolesion and also tendonitis… I was wondering what an osteochondrolesion is and what the treatment is. I was also wondering if tendonitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, was curable and what is needed to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated…
THANKS!!!
I work as a stocker in a pet food place, lift 40-50 pound bags of food, and have done triceps, biceps,chest and shoulder exercises for the past month, and noticed a pain in my left forearm and outer elbow that throbs, slightly weakens the elbow, and hurts when i flex my bicep. I first noticed it when doing barbell curls, but i think the bag lifting is what created it totally. HOW DO I KNOW IF I TORE SOMETHING, or whether its like tennis elbow, ect? Can i still weight lift if its tennis elbow, or do i have to waste time by letting it heal? PLEASE HELP!
i dont think its supinator. its more on the outside of the elbow, slightly above the elbow even, but NOT my tricep
I was having alot of pain after surgery and physical therapy did not help,i told the surgeon and he said there was nothing more he could offer me,but another cortizone shot! I went to have a second opinion and my new surgeon said that i have radial tunnel and cubital tunnel which the emg showed abnormalities.This is a work related injury.My new surgeon said in his report that the tennis elbow surgery failed,and there should have been more tests on my elbow by my previous surgeon. Can anybody please help me with what i,ve gone thru?
Everytime I go to the doctors with an injury of a sprain or strain he gives me prevenative medicine such as exercises and Ice or hot packs and things for me to wear such as a sleave for tennis elbow. Do you think that it is right for this doctor to give out prevenative medicine to all his patients and to me every time he sees a patient. Any Advice from health experts or people with this experience?
I work in a headlight factory and since returning to work 4 weeks ago from a 3 month maternity leave, my right arm, I”m right handed, has really been hurting. It started out being my shoulder but now is about half way down my arm, around the elbow but not my elbow. What can I do to get some relief.
I would like to make my shoulders more well developed and specifically more flexible for tennis. I am wanting this to contribute to increasing the height of my elbow on my racquet drop in my serve. What are some exercises and stretches that will accomplish this? Also, Pete Sampras’ shoulder was supposedly more well developed than most pitchers’, and he could touch his elbows together behind his back. Sampras was obviously an amazing natural athlete, but is this sort of flexibility impossible to reach for most people?

I’ve got tendonitis-commonly called tennis elbow- from a car accident. Its lasted 7 months and my arm and hand muscles have gotten weaker from not being strong enough to use for most things.
If you’ve had experience like this, how long did it last before healing and what did you do to help it heal? Thanks.
I am going to the MEPS in about 10 days. I have a slightly aggravated tendon or ligament in my elbow that reduces my arm to about 15 degrees less than straight. I have been approved to go for all kinds of other injuries, ACL tears and ankle tears and breakage. I did not mention my elbow because it does not cause any problems. I can still do push ups and pull ups. I can still ride BMX damn well. I didn’t even consider it until I read the descriptions of exercises done at MEPS. I can touch thumbs to shoulders, but when I extend arms out in front with palms up, one arm is a little off. Considering getting a cortisone shot before I go. Does it sound like I will be DQ’d for this?
Now doesn’t that hurt, i had mine operated on to release the tendon, what sort of work caused yours?
After the surgery it took 3 months to heal, it was the best thing i did, never had any problems since.
Yes i am a leftie to, i also had a few cortisone injections but they were useless.
I’m 13 and when I finish doing pushups, slightly after I get a pain on the sides of my elbow. What is happening?
And it is only on my left arm so I’m doing one hand pushups on the other.
I am a veterinarian of 56 years old. Few weeks back I experienced a severe pain in my left elbow joint. When I touched the joint it was really painful. Pain was radiating downwards too and found difficult even to lift a book. Consulted a doctor and he diagnosed it as ‘Tennis elbow‘ and treated with Voltaren (Diclofenec sodium- 25 mg) for 1 week. No pain was experienced during the treatment. Once the drugs had benn withdrawn, it started again. Consulted a second doctor, he too diagnosed as the same condition and treated with Voltaren again, (100 mg slow release) nocte for 5 days. Today is the second day and I fell better.
(1) Is this the condition known as ‘tennis elbow‘ or some other condition?
(2) What shoud I do if I get the pain after 5 days again?
(3) Diclofenec sodium is a non steroid anti inflammatory drug. Should I use it for long?
(4) Do other tests necessary for a correct doagnosis?
(5) I am not diabetic. BP normal. Not pot bellied. Drink alcohol moderately almost every day
What can do about tendonitis/tennis elbow? I have been lifting weights for upper body twice per week for about 2-3 years now, I lift heavy…most sets are 6-8 reps.
Lately, I have had serious elbow pain, particularly when my arm is bent. Is there a way to fix this problem aside from stopping lifting altogether?
Best Answer:
Is there something about my workout routine in particular that caused my problem? Too much pushing or pulling movement? Should I mix up the routine? Or is it just overuse in general? Seems to flare up most during chest exercises.
My routine is as follows, and has been the same for the entire 2-3 years that I’ve been lifting:
Chest:
40 pushups to warm up
Flat barbell bench press, 3 sets (one light warmup, two heavy)
15 degree incline dumbell press, 2 sets
30 degree incilne dumbell press, 2 sets
45 degree incline dumbell press, 2 sets
Lats:
Wide grip pull ups (palms facing out) to warm up
Wide grip pull ups with added weight, 2 sets
T-bar rows, 3 sets
Bent dumbbell rows, 2 sets
Shoulders:
Side lateral raises, 3 sets
Smith machine shoulder press, 3 sets
Upright rows, 3 sets
Shrugs, 2 sets
I don’t do any isolated arm exercises.
doctor." "Don’t do that," volunteered his friend, "there’s a new computer at the drugstore that can diagnose any problem quicker and cheaper than a doctor. All you have to do is put in a urine sample, deposit , then the computer will give you your diagnosis and plan of treatment."
The man figured he had nothing to lose, so he took a sample of urine down to the drugstore. Finding the machine, he poured in the urine and deposited . The machine began to buzz and various lights flashed on and off. After a short pause, a slip of paper popped out on which was printed:
You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water twice a day. Avoid heavy labor. Your elbow will be better in two weeks.
That evening as the man contemplated this breakthrough in medical science, he began to suspect fraud. To test his theory he mixed together some tap
water, a stool sample from his dog and urine samples from his wife and teenage daughter. To top it all off, he masturbated into the jar. He took this concoction down to the drugstore, poured it in the machine and deposited . The machine went through the same buzzing and flashing routine as before then printed out the following message:
Your tap water has lead. Get a filter.
Your dog has worms. Give him vitamins.
Your daughter is on drugs. Get her in rehab.
Your wife is pregnant. It’s not your baby. Get a lawyer.
And if you don’t stop jerking off your tennis elbow will never get better.
So, I’ve been a cashier for seven years and I get a really bad pain in my wrist and it goes into my shoulders. It’s really bad. I wake up and I can barely move my arm. I have to prop myself up with my other arm. I’ve been to the doctor and he told me I have tennis elbow or something and gave me this little brace to wear on my forearm. I’ve used this to no avail. I am wondering, however, if I would be able to do some type of exercise to alieviate my pain.
