Effective Tennis Elbow Treatment
Was lifting a canoe to put on rack on the wall wiht my dad, it fell nad my hand was caught in it, i heard a pop/snap/crack (i went over with it) , and it hurts like hell. i don’t want to see a docter unless i have to, anyideas on what could be wrong?
Although I’m only 5’3” (on the short side), my weight is pretty much in check – I checked out my BMI and I’m very close to being underweight, but that’s not the problem..
For the last month, I’ve been pretty inactive. I wanted to exercise and be in shape, but I’ve just been really lazy and relaxed quite a bit. My jaw muscle (?) has been hurting recently, and random muscles in my elbows, or thighs or the one connecting my calves to thigh muscles (behind the knee), and my gums in my mouth…
This is bad, right? How do I make myself feel better (exercise releases endorphins?) but without a whole lot of commitment, I don’t want to have to hit the gym for like an hour everyday – I’m just a teenager so I have school and other things to focus on.. I play tennis, but that won’t be regularly possible, if at all, at least for another month. 
Any suggestions appreciated :] Thank youuuuu
i went on a fishing trip for 3 weeks, it was fine, nothing strenuous, but now that i got home, i have very sore ancles and soles of my feet (at the heel, the pain comes from underneath) very sore wrists and elbows, sore chest muscles, sore throat, and red spots all over my palms. now i have not done anything that would normally cause sore joints, this has occured 4 days after i got home, i have not done much since, just unpack and tidy the house, i am 18 also.
what might be causing this?
This is a long one, but please bear with me. I’ve got nowhere else to go!
So I’m 20 years old, and for the past few years I’ve had progressive joint and muscle pain. I was perfectly fine until I was 16 when I injured my back, and since then everything’s gone downhill. The injury healed normally, but since then it seems to flare up with inflammation every couple weeks or so and lasts a few days to a week. My hands were the next to go, I thought it was carpal tunnel at first, but it’s in both hands (I’m right handed), and I have pain in my pinkie and the outer part of my hand as well, which rules that out. Also my fingers are beginning to curve inwards and bulb out, if that makes sense My knees started acting up next. They just feel weak, kinda wobbly and they crack every time I bend them. Sometimes at night it feels like I have restless leg syndrome, but even moving around doesn’t help. Ankles are next. I injured them pretty bad a couple years ago, and I’m not sure if I broke or tore something, but if I’m on my feet too much they swell and get pretty painful. Elbows and shoulders after that. My shoulders feel like there’s heavy weights on them, and my elbows feel like I constantly have tennis elbow. Recently my entire body feels stiff, I’m starting to notice that the weather has an effect on how I feel. Dairy products, even calcium supplements trigger the pain. A lot of times my muscles feel like they’ve been strained, even though I’m usually in too much pain to do anything strenuous. I’m tired even after a full night’s sleep, and in the morning it seems like I have to force myself to get up. I was never this way!!
Here’s the thing- I’ve been tested for rheumatoid arthritis several times, and each time has come back negative. I’ve had tons of blood work done, and everything is always normal. I live in a small town, and every doctor I’ve been to tell me that it’s in my head, that it’s growing pains, one doctor even accused me of being a drug dealer trying to get pills to sell! They just don’t seemed concerned!
Has anyone ever had similar symptoms and gotten an accurate diagnosis? And would it be worth the long and agonizing six hour drive to see a fibromyalgia specialist or a rheumatologist? I just need an answer, 20 is too young to be feeling old! I know Yahoo Answers is the last place to ask for help concerning my health, and that no one on here can tell me exactly what it is, but I’ve got nothing else to lose. I’m at my wits end!!
Thank you for your help, and God bless!
sometimes when i run 2-4 miles one of my arms starts to hurt really bad, around the shoulder blade area, it feels like a serious cramp or sharp pain and i have to stop running because of it. it goes away after walking a lap, but it is a major inconvenience. what causes this and how do i prevent it in the future?
it sometimes even alternates arms, i go easy on one arm and the other arm hurts. should i stop swinging my arms while i run and look like a fool?
I’m 15, and since I was about 10 I’ve been getting 24/7 discomfort in my joints.
First it was only my wrists, but now its starting to spread to my other joints (ankles, knees, elbows). I have to crack them/roll them around for the discomfort to stop for a second and then it is painful again. After about 30 minutes exercise they hurt like crazy and I have to stop.
I don’t do any intense exercise. I’ve been exercising the same for years (tennis, jogging, swimming) and I play piano. I have a healthy diet, and while the pain never is extremely bad and doesn’t affect any other part of my body, its just constant, always there.
What do you think it could be? Thanks!
I just started my varsity year of baseball and my arm is starting to hurt bad. Right where my elbow is but on top and I found out it might be tenis elbow from throwing too much. Does anyone know a sleeve that can help prevent the pain? Please let me know!!
I have a sore elbow that appeared out of nowhere. Woke up with it one morning and it’s really bothering me. My left elbow is the one that’s sore, and I happen to have a mild case of cerebral palsy on my left side. Naturally because of my CP, I can’t use my left arm very much. I don’t know if I slept on it funny or did something to it without realizing it. Should I have any cause for concern?
Weird feeling in arm after going to chiropractor?
Went to chiropractor for back adjustment and ended up telling him about tennis elbow I have been dealing with. He did a minor adjustment on my arm by placing the palm up and pulling the arm toward him. since that visit I have had pain in my bicep and near or in my shoulder. It didnt hurt initially but seems to be aggravated now by swimming and push up style exercises. What could he have done??? A physical therapist and him both have told me that nothing major could have happened and that this pain should just go away but it is not going away and Im worried. What do you guys think happened and what should I do?
If you have, does it eventually go away if you keep doing the exercises that strengthen it?
I developed tennis elbow about 6 mths ago.I had an injection twice that seemed to help into the elbow.But now i am in so much pain that i cant bend my arm.The pain now is mostly down into the forearm and its always there,constantly sore!When i twist my arm theres alot of pain from the elbow down to the forearm!Why is my forearm hurting so much now and what can i do?
First off, i started lifting weights when i was 15 1/2 i got started lifting august of 2009, lifted for about 6-7 months and then i first started getting pains in my elbow. I took a week off, returned the next week and was fine. Couple months later it returned slightly, the kind of pain that just kind of aches to where your uncomfortable, and it would only happen when i was sitting or laying around. I lifted a little through it but lowered the rate of my exercises, and it eventually came back then too. Got to be summer 2010, and i tried p90x, i made it through phase one but i couldnt make it to the recovery week of phase one (3 weeks into the program) and my elbows were in agony.
I didnt lift for a month and a half and i went to the doc. He said it was tennis elbow, and told me to wait a little while before i start lifting again. After the pain subsided (1 month and a 1/2), i started back with low intensity to work my way up. Everything was going good. Started doing weight training at school august 2010 and after we maxed out on the second week, my forearms and elbows were hurting.
I went to the doc again and he said he thought my tendons and ligaments around my elbows were just inflamed from maxing out on bench press, and incline bench press. took 2 weeks off, with a very powerful anti inflamatory and i was fine. Got to be a month and a half later, it was bothering me slightly so i took a few days off and i was ok. Now we get to december of 2010, we were getting out for christmas break and we would have a 2 week vacation, so i tried to do a little more than usuall so i’d get a little more muscle growth over the break.
That was the 20th, well my elbows and forearms started bothering me that evening, i waited until the 23rd and they were still bothering me a little, but i done a little workout at home with my at home equipment. And they’ve really been bothering me. I havent lifted at all, just worked my job. My job consists of scrubbing, painting, sanding, and fixing up a house. I’ve been working that job since the end of september of this year. It seems like my joints are aching. My shoulders, my biceps (slightly), my tricep where it connects to my elbow some, the top of my forearm (where tennis elbow would be), and my elbow joint was hurting.
It just snowed here on christmas eve, we got 6 inches so i was wondering if maybe the cold weather had anything to do with it or if it was something more serious.
Can someone please help me out. I don’t understand why I’m aching so much now but i wasn’t at this time last year if it has to do with weight training.
Pelican, I’m aching all over my arms right now. Basically i kinda have a little pain in my shoulders, sometimes throughout the day my bicep will be sore, occasionally my triceps, but i can really feel it on the outside of my forearm where my tennis elbow was, and on the back at the elbow joint. My shoulders is either between the trap and shoulder on the back of the shoulder.
Basically its a “weak feeling” if you will and almost feels like i’ve had a hard workout and my elbows are the same and the top of the elbow feels like a bruise but there’s no bruising there.
I have recently had symptoms of what I think is carpal tunnel syndrom. Im getting some dull aching pain mostly in my thumb and index finger. They also have a slight burning sensation and the pain radiates through the center of my wrist and and acompanied by a tennis elbow type of feeling. The whole thing feels like a nerve pain. The only thing that took me by surprise, was how fast it came on. I have been doing medical transcription typing for about 7 months now. But I only type for a maximum of 2 hours a day and many times its not even that much. I know that typing is the number one cause of it, but it just didnt seem like I would get it from that much typing. I noticed about 2 weeks ago, my hands started to slightly ache from typing, but it would go away when i stopped. Then I feel like i woke up one morning and it just hurt, and ive had the pain for a little over a week now and its not improving at all. Does it sound like carpal tunnel for sure? If so, what can I do to improve it and also do you think its related directly to the tennis elbow feeling or would you think that is a separate problem?
The bump on my elbow is red and about the size of a dime. It is really sore and is swollen out a bit. Its on my right elbow and quite painful.
One day Bill complained to his friend, "My elbow really hurts, I guess I should see a doctor."
His friend offered, "Don’t do that. There’s a computer at the drug store that can diagnose anything quicker an cheaper than a doctor. Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about it. It only costs ."
Bill figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the . The computer started making some noise and various lights started flashing. After a brief pause out popped a small slip of paper on which was printed: You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water. Avoid heavy lifting. It will be better in two weeks.
Late that evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to wonder if this machine could be fooled. He decided to give it a try. He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his dog and urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he masturbated into the concoction.
He went back to the drug store, located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited the . The computer again made the usual noise and printed out the following message:
Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. Your dog has worms. Get him vitamins. Your daughter is using cocaine. Put her in a rehabilitation clinic. Your wife is pregnant with twin girls. They aren’t yours. Get a lawyer. And if you don’t stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better.
I fell on october 18th and i sprained my right elbow and wrist. I was wondering how long it will take for both to heal. I have my right wrist in a brace and the arm in a sling. I just wanna get back to turning pens on a lathe.
A friend of mine had a injection of something for her tennis elbow, I know it is not Cortisone..what is similar to Cortisone?

Went to the chiropractor for a tennis elbow adjustment and came out with bicep tendinitis in my shoulder WTF? He put my arm with the palm of my hand facing up and yanked it toward him. The pain didnt come on immediately but it was hurting so much while trying to exercise that I went to a real doctor and she diagnosed me with bicep tendinitis. How did this happen? Is my arm going to be permanently messed up or out of proper alignment? What should I do?
For the past 2 years, with it getting worse the last 6 months, I have pretty bad pain when walking, with stiffness and swelling in my knees, hips and ankles. My fingers are also stiff and achy and I also have pain in my elbows. Walking, bending is getting worse. And climbing and coming down stairs is very difficult. Although some days seem worse than others. Also, my toes seem to be deforming and I have pain in them as well. What could be wrong with me?
I had tennis elbow from 3 months
I took those months as a rest from GYM and i put ice

Now I’m making Physiotherapy
I am just wondering if anyone had cured from tennis elbow before

Later , i will be able to be back to GYM or nooooo ??
for the last few weeks all i have eaten are microwaved hungry man dinners and now i have developed about a two inch green sore on my right elbow. what should i do.
It’s not age, because i’m 15. It’s not that i’m too thin, i’m 108 and 5’5.
My breasts, thighs, lower legs, and even around my hip bones. They’re not little spider veins. they’re big blue veins that around my hips you can see curving around and its really strange. i can see the veins in my wrists go from half way in my palm all the way to a my GIANT elbow vein. all the way up my lower arm. that’s so nasty.
but why all of a sudden? should i be worried?
also, on the back of my hand, the veins are so visible that if i press down on it, pull towards the knuckle, then release the pressure, you can SEE (actually see) the blood rush back through the vein.
and i’ve worked up a little tan from tennis. i’m not super super pale.
I’m going into ninth grade this year and I’m playing football. in 7th and 8th grade i had to play wide receiver even though i really wanted to play quarterback. I can throw a football 50 or so yards but ever since i entered the 7th grade i can’t throw a football more than once before i get severe pain in and around my elbow. what is going on??
I popped my elbow a week ago, had a splint and got a MRI yesterday. Results wont be ready till tomorrow. It did still hurt yesterday at my MRI when they put it at this angle. How long is the supposed to last? Cause now when I straighten it, it doesn’t hurt. Could I still have one of the 2 problems and the pain is going but still needs to be treated?
