I was diagnosed with tennis elbow in both arms in May. The medications did not help. My doctor is now thinking it is not tennis elbow but rather has something to do with my herniated discs and spinal stenosis in my lower back . ( I have had that diagnosis for years, though it has never caused any issue with my arms.) He has referred me to a neurologist, but I couldn’t get an appointment until mid february. My question is this. My doctor ordered blood work. When the technician went to take my blood, it was like an electric shock went thru my arm and I yanked my arm away.I have had blood work several times in the past and never had a problem. Since that day of the failed lab work, I have a severe new pain in my pulse area of my wrist, whenever I reach my arm out. It is exactly where my pulse is in my wrist. Do I need to be concerned about this and call my doctor back?

about three weeks ago my elbow was swollen with a large area of fluid.:I didn’t go the the Dr.at that time..due to the fact that i see him every month….Well, i went for my regular appointment and forgot about my elbow.
now there is a new development with my elbow.the fluid has gone away and now a cyst has developed berween the two bones that join in your elbow..(upper and lower arm bone) this was small at first.I noticed it about 10 days ago..now it has tripled in size ( perhaps the size of a small walnut) My question is
what causes this?? will i need surgery……??? if so what are the repercusions?? I make crystal jewelry to pay for my parkinsens medicine. If surgery is done,will i be able to contiue immediately with my jewelry? thank you so much.

I was diagnosed with cellulitis a week ago. It is located on my right arm at the elbow. Symptoms appeared exactly 7 days ago (red skin, tight at elbow, super sensitive to touch, etc),. Went to Doc next day and he was unsure of whether it was cellulitis or gout, but leaned towards cellulitis. Perscribed bactrin and naproxen (in case its gout). Saw some immeditae benefits within a day…swelling decreased and tenderness went down. For the next few days the redness spread from my elbow toward my wrist with a clear line of demarcation betrween the red tender part and the normal skin. In the last two days the red pink color has gone down significantly, but the point of origin at my elbow is still a bit swollen and red. The skin at the elbow is very tight and a little warm (though not as much as last week). Is this normal/expected? When can I expect the swelling and tightness to go away? I have been on bactrin (2x per day) for 7 days. I have an appointment with my doc for 9 days from now.

I am going through Manual Therapy (Tennis Elbow) currently. It hurts during and after the therapy. The Physiotherapist said it is ok and common. Any physiotherapist out there have the same comment?
I still have another 3 more appointment for this therapy.

I had surgery on both arms for tennis elbow/tendinitis. My arms were not healing as fast as my doctors thought they should, so I asked my doctor for a prescription for deep tissue massage in my arms (to help the tendinitis). He gave me one and I called a licensed place that stated in the phone book that they do deep tissue massage therapy. I called them on the phone and made sure that they do this type of work and they said yes, no problem, just bring in my prescription to my first appt. So I did, and it ended up being a Chiropractors office which was clearly not set up for deep tissue massage on the arms. He has been working on my neck and back since end of August and at first at the end of each session he would pay some attention to my arms for about a minute. I questioned him about this because I was concerned about workers comp not paying the bill for a chiropractors office and he assured me that if they don’t that my Blue Choice will pay for it. He also said that he would
write me up a release stating that I would never see a bill from them (to ease my mind). I finally told him that I felt I was clearly in the wrong place, and he told me that the neck and arms are connected and that it would benefit me, so I continued to set up appts. I did however tell him though that I didn’t feel that this was the place for me as far as massage for my arms. He then asked one of the massage therapists that work in the same building with him come in and speak with me about how much it would cost me per 1/2 hour for the massage that I need for my arms! Oh yeah, and the letter of release that he gave me only states that I am not responsible for copays! I called the insurance company today and it is in review and they told me that if workers comp does not pay for it, I might have to go before a judge and jury, so I called the Chiropractor’s office and told him this and that I want a letter stating I will never see a bill and he is being testy with me. I am going to
go to my appointment today just so I can get that letter, but I don’t appreciate him making me out to me the a-hole when he clearly mislead me from the beginning just so he could get my business. What should I do if he doesn’t give me that letter and I end up having to waste my time with court and get a bill? I am really aggrivated. Not only has he wasted my time, but I did not get the deep tissue massage on my arms that I needed.
