Ok well I was diagnosed by my pediatrician a year ago that I had Medial Epicondylitis, or elbow tendinitis. I am only 13, and symptoms happened after I pitched in a baseball game. So I went to the doctor and he diagnosed me. Now it’s about 12-13 months later and im back to playing baseball. My elbow has been bothering me the whole year. It is my inner elbow by the way. I can throw, without harm, but after a while, I’d say after 15 throws, I feel the pain in my inner elbow again. I cannot pitch, my elbow feels really delicate and uncomfortable compared to my left elbow.

I have been doing physical exercises like pushups arm curls occasionally, and some Advil, and Aleve. Nothing really works, so I am kind of scared that I might need surgery for it. Is it risky? Like will I ever be able to play baseball again?

I do have mild pain when I make a muscle too.

I hurt my arm by digging post holes and planting trees this past fall. Doctor told me to take 2 Aleve twice a day. Problem is I can’t sleep after taking Aleve , wake up about 1:00 AM and can’t go back to sleep. Is this common with any one else? What can I take?

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

Tennis Elbow..I have burning sensation in my elbows and couple yrs ago it healed a bit?
cause i used a arm band and now it’s back again! surgery is not an option..what is??? i use Aleve to relieve the pain and I cannot do any weights for my upper body unless it heals…does it really take 6 months to a year to heal??? Anyone has this problem?
In the past I used glucosamine- chondritin 1,500 mg a day and it really helped it heal..but it has come back since I started to do upper body weights. I think i will just use my arm brace and not bend my arms and take care of it…

I’ve read that it comes from repeated overuse of your arm but I do not do anything that I can think of that would strain it. In any event, I’ve tried ice packs, Aleve, Arnica, massage, elevating it, etc. which all work– but only temporarily. I keep hoping it will go away on its own (just like it came) but I’m losing patience. When my chiropractor works on my shoulder, I can feel pain in my elbow so am wondering if it’s my shoulder that’s been pushed out of place via an adjustment. I’d be interested in hearing from anyone with experience and/or expertise in this area.

Thanks!

Been struggling with tennis elbow for 7 weeks. I haven’t touched a racquet in 6 weeks and stopped lifting weights 4 weeks ago. Started taking aleve twice a day 5 days ago and plan to continue that for total of 14 days then see MD if no better. I was icing it 1-2 times a day for about 2 weeks but stopped after no improvement felt. Any thoughts?
