I am a male, age 43. I have been strength training over the past year and have made great gains! The outer elbow pain seems to be getting worse after working out or doing simple tasks! Wake up with pain & numbness! I`ve tried ice, heat, pain relievers, rest, etc. Nothing is working!

I tried researching how to cure tennis elbow, but pretty much all I found were ways to help subdue the pain or discomfort by icing it or what not.

Unfortunately life has put me in the situation where I do not have insurance so going to a Physcial Therapist is not that practical at the moment.

Does anyone recall what they have done , such as stretching certain ways, strength training on the elbow/arm a certain way? Of course the last thing I want to do is negatively impact healing by just tearing the elbow up more but I have a high tolerance for pain so I can handle it if I have to do some type of strength training.

From what I read I really don’t want to be out 6 months until it resolves itself, surely there must be something more practical in my situation.

*note, i got this from cycling by using the drop bars too much and not switching up more often so my elbow took a beating and I am paying the price now!

I have had bad lower back pain for about a year now and the doc has done xrays and urine tests and says nothing out of line? I ALSO have Tennis elbow, which really hurts! Have been on Vicodin 2/day, sometimes I need 3 or 4 and then i have to suffer other days because I am short on my script. I usually get them refilled every month with just a phone call. Now after a few months not seeing him, he wants a physical before he fills anymore. When I see him, should i tell him I need more than 2/day? Last time I seen him, he refered me to pysical therapy, but I cant afford that and dont have the time during the week to go. I have a freind whom is a massage therapist and gives me massages once a month to help, but that is temporary.
I have been exercising/strength training both my back and elbow, but my job consist of manual labor and I need to work. The vics are what keep me working without pain.
Also what if he insist on therapy?
What do you think he will do for me?
Up my script, or cut me off, or refer me elsewhere. NOTE this is my lifelong reg. DO.
How long does a general doc keep prescribing narcotics. Some that replied state that they took for year and a half for back pain..How long till its normal to up the dosage. Ive been on 7mg for about 7mos or so.
