I will be having surgery this week to fix my chronic (three years) tennis elbow. I tried getting a cortisone shot but it only made my condition worse. I want to know what the recovery from the surgery will be like. I am told by my surgeon that he will be trimming the tendon (ligament?) shaving the bone where it attaches and then reattaching the tendon. I start back at school three hours away from home two weeks after my surgery. Am I cutting it too close? I also am a little nervous about the general anesthesia. I know I will be ok but I guess I just don’t know what to expect and it is making me nervous.
Also, I don’t play tennis but I thought there might be more people over here who have had experience with this.
I recently had ulnar nerve surgery and radial nerve surgery and tennis elbow surgery.3.5 weeks out and my doc and therapists are worried about my stiffness and rage of motion they want to wear special braces that make rage of motion better.They hope this works or i,ll be having yet another surgery again! I,m not really sure about anything anymore,or if i,ll ever be the same again.The doc is hopeful to get me to a functional state and told me it may not be a bad idea to change jobs because of all the use of my injured arm.I,m a workcomp patient and just lookinf for any advice Please help………….
My arm is still painfull everyday and my range of motion is decreased. I had to change insurance so PT is not an option…does anyone have some PT suggestions I can do or any other help…arm very sore! Doc said to be patient..:(
who has good success with tennis elbow surgery? how long before you played tennis again? i just had my left elbow operated on July 28 and the right one on august 18.
I’m having surgery for tennis elbow on 7/31/08. I have plans to go to New Braunsfels to do the rafting on the river. Do you think my doctor will allow me to go. We’re going on 8/8-8/9. It will be nine days after surgery. Do you think I can go?
I have severe tennis elbow, the MRI shows a lot of degeneration of the tendon. I have tried every option available, Rest-Ice-Compression-Elevation (R.I.C.E.), PT x 2, Shots x 2, Nitro Glycerin patches, Botox. Now I am in an immobilization brace at 90 degrees to help try and stop the degeneration, and pain while I contimplate surgery. I have been well versed about the surgery, its success rates and outcomes. However my doctor couldn’t recall anyone getting worse after the surgery, so here I am. Any answers?
Does it resolve the issue?
healed yet from surgery. I had tennis elbow surgery on both arms. My right arm was done first and is still a bit sore and my left arm is still not fully healed from the surgery and the doctor said I have to return to work in 5 weeks no matter what. What??? I guess I am not healing fast enough for him or something. My tendonitis is still active and I am still going to physical therapy twice a week. I don’t think I should be forced back to work before this is completely healed. Isn’t there anything that I can do?
tendonitis of both arms and tennis elbow of both arms for 3 years. I have been going to physical therapy on and off for 3 years. The first year it started out in my wrist, so I went for physical therapy and it went away. When it came back the next year it went up my forearms, so I went to physical therapy and it went away. The third year it went to my elbows and I have been out of work since April of 2006. I tried therapy for 6 months as to try and rule out surgery. It did not work this time so I had both arms operated on. I had the tennis elbow surgery done arthroscopically. I have been going to therapy twice a week since April of 2006. My right arm was operated on November 06 and my left arm March 07. I am still going to physical therapy. My right arm was doing well for a while and is acting up again, and my left arm, although has gotten somewhat better, refuses to heal. My doctor told me that he is sending me back to work without restrictions at my next appt. I know that I will further injure myself if I do.
This is a workers comp case from an injury at work and my lawyers can’t do anything against what my doctors say. So my question for you is, why am I not healing as fast as the doctors believe I should be? And is there something else that I could have where maybe I was misdiagnosed and that could possibly be the reason that I am not responding to the treatment that I am getting? The pain has moved to the inside of my elbow joints now and is traveling back down my forearms in the pain of tendoinitis again. I am very distraught about this. I feel I have done everthing I could possibly do to cure this problem. They have never given me and MRI even when I asked for one. I need to find a doctor that will listen to me and not worry about stepping on another doctors "toes" and really hear my concerns. I don’t want to end up totally disabled, I want to be healed. What should I do? I really don’t know what to do anymore. I just want my arms back so I can go back to my normal life.
My questions are these: Is there something I can have besides what they are saying? Is there any other treatment that can advance my healing? Will an MRI show things that might have been missed? How do I get a doctor to listen to me? Why am I not healing as fast as they "think I should?" I really need advice from a professional in this area. I am not messing around, I am not trying to stay out of work, I am being honest with my concerns and I feel like nobody cares. Please help!!!
In response to Mystify’s thorough and helpful answer, My pain started in my right arm and my left arm followed. It is a repetitive injury I incurred at work from typing all day which I believe to have been a poorly set up work station.
I was having alot of pain after surgery and physical therapy did not help,i told the surgeon and he said there was nothing more he could offer me,but another cortizone shot! I went to have a second opinion and my new surgeon said that i have radial tunnel and cubital tunnel which the emg showed abnormalities.This is a work related injury.My new surgeon said in his report that the tennis elbow surgery failed,and there should have been more tests on my elbow by my previous surgeon. Can anybody please help me with what i,ve gone thru?
