Effective Tennis Elbow Treatment
its been 2 weeks now since i had strained elbow. im not even 100% sure if i have strained elbow or not. because my elbow has no strength feels like my elbow joints are loosend. but no pain on my elbow at ALL. lol, i know its strange…. what is this???
and is strained elbow same thing as tennis elbow??
will this heal?? if yes, then how long will it take.??
thanks guyz.
it only hurts when i use it.. how can i tell how long its gonna need to heal then? im afraid to take it easy for a week and then use it to see how it is, because if it hurts, theres a chance i ripped something again and now i have to start over from the beggining.. please help?
The muscle near my elbow, a little farther down, has been hurting recently. I think it might be because my racket grip is a bit too small or because my backhand timing is bad, or both. Do you think i have tennis elbow? If so, how do i cure it? Can i still play tennis? How long will it take to cure?
I was an active pitcher/shortstop on my baseball team, and I had to constantly make a lot of long hard throws every game. Then my arm went, and it started hurting a lot sort of where my funny bone is. I am sure it is a tennis elbow because I have asked my doctor, and he x-rayed my arm and it was fine, and the muscles are fine, and my arm just annoyingly hurts. How do I fix this arm so I can get back to baseball?
I have not played or thrown a ball in 3 months and whenever I try, my arm hurts like hell.
It hurts after a short time of activity.
here’s my situation.
i have tennis elbow real bad. i’ve had it for about 3 yrs now but in the past few months, the pain has gotten unbearable.
i’ve already been in and out of physical therapy twice and have had 3 cortizone shots and neither worked. so i went to the doctor and told him that i think it’s time for surgery and he agreed.
but the problem is it’s a workmen’s comp issue and it has to go through approval which takes about 2 weeks to get. so i have to work in the meantime.
my job is very physical and requires alot of use of that arm. so having to work with this bad elbow is like torture but my job insists that i work 7 days a week.
they know my predicament and they know i’m in severe pain but they don’t care. when i try to explain it to them that i’m in pain, they kinda brush my off with the "suck it up and stop whining" attitude.
now here’s the worst part. meanwhile, i’m watching able bodied people getting days and weekends off and getting sent home early due to lack of work. but for me, instead of sending me home on slow days, they look for trivial things for me to do. doing "lighter" jobs is actually worse because it requires more movement and use of this arm.
am i in the wrong for being angry about this?
I don’t know what I did. I can’t twist it, turn it, stretch it, or put pressure on it. It hurts like hell. What can I do to make it heal better. I don’t know if I pulled it, strained it, or hyper-extended it. Help me please
it almost feels like tennis elbow, or at least how it is described, but it hurts when i swing, or just move it up and down. should i wear a brace for a while and see if that helps?
heres the thing. this is my major tennis season, and i cant stop, if i stop i wont get scholarships for tennis for college. i took aleve before practice today and it helped and i got a brace. will it help it at all? i also talked to the nurse at school who suggested the brace
sorry- i know it sounds stupid to risk the rest of my playing career. i will take it easy, thank you im just rediculously scared that i will never be able to play again. ill work on stretches, plus this week is tryouts, and im already on the team, so i can take it easy. im just stressed sorry for the snap
i have had tarsal tunnel release and now have a diagnosis of carpal tunnel and i have an impengment in my neck as well as my lower back….i also have tennis elbow, was wondering if there is a bigger issue with my nerves that i should be looking at?
I recently got tennis elbow because I played tennis without an anti-shock. I began treating it by icing but this ended up causing me more pain even thought I did it for less than 15 minutes. What should I do to cure it and should i stop icing it? Any help would be great, thanks.
i have had tennis elbow symptoms for nearly 6 months now, i went to the docs and had a shot (cortizone) and it went from bad to worse, the shot made my skin go really really thin and almost transparent. the pain has gotten worse and now is around the back of my elbow, in my bicep and down my wrist. the muscle above my elbow has completely gone and the pain is terrible. I have gone to a physio who has got me doing exercises to straighten it. although it hurts i do them, but the pain is even worse now aswell.
i am on a surgeons waiting list but that has beena couple months itself!
i dont know what else to do, im sick of my arm hurting.
what exacally is wrong? and what else can i do?
i got it from years of martial arts.. punching. if it has been 6 months and it hasnt healed, will it ever? im in soo much agony
i have this pain when i grip somthine or pick it up and its near my elbow that little muslce near it if i do have it how can i make it heal bc it has been 2 weeks
What exactly is tennis elbow and how do u cure it? because i think i now have it because my elbow hurts and I’ve been playing a lot of tennis lately.
my sister recently did something to her arm while in a tennis tournament, my sister has been to 3 different doctors
#1 said – a fractured shoulder
#2 said – an inflamed elbow
#3 said – 3 inflamed nerves one in her wrist, another in her elbow, another in her shoulder as well as carpel tunnel syndrome
the 3 doctors have tlked about it but none of them can seem to agree, it has been about 2 weeks and she has been attending physical therapy 3 times per week, it is getting so bad she can hardly move/lift her arm without it hurting, can anyone recommend good doctors in Fairfield County, Connecticut
also last night she was in my room and she fell asleep for about a half an hour because we were watching a movie, she fell asleep with her stomach on the floor, but when i woke her up for her to go back to her room, she tried to push herself up using her arms, she had abousolutely no strength in her arm and culdn’t push her self up
I currently play tennis everyday. My arms seem to make a ‘cracking’ sound when I stretch them out. They aren’t painful but are a little sore. Is this tennis elbow and how do I treat it?
i had a elbow strain like 4 months ago. since i got the injury i didnt really take care of it, but after 2 months. it still didnt heal so i went to massage therapy. therapist told me i strained my back and my arm. i did not torn any muscle massage therapist said, she can sense things well. im just wondering if these kind of injuries fully for sure. i feel no pain, no sharp pain nothing. just weak. i think i strained it.
i suddenly felt a weird feeling when i shot the ball. my arm is weak, but ive never experienced any pain.. i feel alot better now from massage therapy.
its just a strain…. its not like i got tennis elbow… she told me its nothing serious. so you think it’ll heal fully???? like one day i wake up… and wolla! i feel better than before! massage therapy says its going to b fine… i dont feel any pain, no sharp pain.
I was working out with some dumbells the other day and my arms have been hurting ever since. What can i do to stop the pain, and was it because i was using the wrong technique, or because i dont usually work out?
I have hypothyroidism. I’ve been taking synthyroid for 5 months. Doc. says my TSH is normal. I still have symptoms. I’ve had a mysterious case of tendinitis (tennis elbow) that has persisted for over a year. It goes from one elbow to another and makes a crunching sound when I bend it palm down. I’ve read that hypothyroidism can cause inflammation and that treatment should relieve the tendinitis. I am still tired, mood swings, and experience symptoms of hypoglycemia(not sure if it’s related) after eating foods high in carbs (palpation’s, lose of sight when I stand up, falling asleep and extreme irritability), despite a normal blood glucose after eating. Anyone out there have any insight? Should I use the natural thyroid or try to get a rx for a T3 in addition to my T4? I’m batting my brains out looking for an answer.
I think about maybe 2 or 3 years ago, I was skateboarding, and fell down on my elbow – pretty hard. It didn’t hurt at first, but from time to time my elbow makes a kind of pop noise, and when I play a sport heavily that involves throwing or using your elbow ( basketball, baseball ) I get pain in my arm. After awhile, it gets terribly annoying, and when I am finished, my arm feels "dead". I don’t know what to do. I am only 16, and in good health, but I am like any normal guy that wants to do anything to avoid seeing a doctor. Especially, I want to avoid getting surgery. Is there any way I can avoid getting surgery? Can this heal with a cast? I’ve gone several weeks and months ( usually in winter ) where I do virtually nothing with my elbow, but when spring time or summer rolls around, my elbow gets painful again after just a few minutes. Any help would be great, and thanks for posting. :]
The doctor seems to think that 3 weeks healing time is enough. It took me 12 weeks for my right arm to heal from the same surgery. How can I get the doctor to keep me out of work long enough for my other arm to heal? I think I will need a full 12 weeks just like the other one. I go to see him tomorrow. Any suggestions???
Overuse injury in my elbow! PLEASE HELP!!!?
I have an overuse injury in my arm. It’s little leaguers elbow. I need to know how to treat it (more than RICE) and how I can repair it. Will physical therapy help me at all? I am just finishing up my track season (I throw shotput, javelin and discus) and soon I will be participating in softball. I’ve been told not to do it but I really want to. Every time I throw I get an intense pain on the medial side of my elbow. I love sports and I would absolutly hate to give them up but if I have to I will because I want to be able to play tennis in the fall.
PLEASE HELP ME!
I’ve tried braces for my arm but they mess up the way I throw.
Thanks for all the help!
Is windsurfing gowing to make my tennis elbow worse?
I was playing tennis about 2 mouths ago and after the game all was good but about 2 days after it started to heart and two months later it still hearts so much.
I have not tried to play tennis as even picking up a book hearts so much.
However when windsurfing it dos not seem to heart. The only problem is that after I am windsurfing I do have a bit of extra pain.
I am only learning and using a big board. And till now have not used a harness.
My question is if I continue to surf will this slow the healing down?
Hope Ken can see this as well as any one who can help out.
