about 7 months ago i was diagnosed with tennis elbow and had a steroid shot by my doctor.. after that my elbow got alot worse, and the skin where i had the shot lost all colour, became really thin and the muscle around my joint pretty much dissapeared! i have now had immense pain in my elbow. The bony bit of my elbow is extremely painful to touch, my forearm aches and is painful, underneath my elbow is also sore and the crease where my arm bends is also sore. I also cannot straighten my arm without severe pain and then rebending when i do get it straight is agony, i have been having ultasound physio and an arm clasp with no help whatsoever! I also cant get that hand warm.. no matter how much i try and use it and not compensate, my hand is so cold it hurts me. I am going for an MRI scan in a week and im really scared.. i dont know what to expect and i dont know if they will say i need surgery… Im an 18 year old girl who has done martial arts all my life.. could that be the cause??
someone please help me with this?? suggestions/ advice or experiences.
