Hello, I’m 16 years old and a basketball player. Anyways, here is the story, it was like a year ago, I would play basketball every. One day, I shot the ball, and here comes the "oh shit" moment.. and it happened.. it wasnt painful but.. I dont know.. but I kept shooting, so I guess it wasnt painful much. Anyways, I didnt really pay attention to my injured elbow, but everyday, I could feel that my arm was getting weaker, but I ignored it. I stopped playing basketball but instead i played video games. But I iced my elbow while playing it. Wow I cant believe its been a year since I got the injury.. I’m really confused about my injury.. my family doctor says its elbow strain, but 1 of my massage threapist say its tennis elbow. and another one of my massage threapist say its elbow strain..and people on yahoo say I torned my muscle or tendon! Which I dont think so. My doctors and MT say I didnt torn my muscle..Ok lets say its a strain. but why is it taking so long time to heal?

im a basketball player, i play basketball everyday, workout for about 20 mins, mostly basketball. anyways, one day,i was shooting hoops,then suddenly i felt a sharp pain on my elbow, after that i had no strength on my arm, my arm was very weak. i couldnt shoot very well after that. but well i thought " its probaly just a sPrain. but next day, my arm was still weak. so i decided to ask my doctor about my elbow. and he said it was just a sTrain, "dont worry about it". so what im asking is how long will it take to heal, get my strength back on my arm???

now ill talk about tennis elbow, first of all, if u have tennis elbow, ur elbow will hurt a lot and weakness on your arm right?? But i have no pain on my elbow, just weak arm. so i dont have tennis elbow right?

i just want my arm strength back soon as possible so i can play bball again.
thanks guyz..
so elbow strain and tennis elbow is same thing??? if not my doc didnt say anythin about tennis elbow,
