tennis elbow has been going on for 3 years now and is becoming a pain in the … well arm to be honest
Lost count of GP visits
Over 30 physio sessions
3 osteopath visits
5 acupunture sessions
forearm braces
2 lots of x rays
worked hard on posture inc new desk, chair mouse ,keyboard
pressure point therapy
ultrsound treatment
emptied the pot on my company health insurance two years in a row
2 steroid injections (works for a couple of months)
3 Elbow consultant visits
countless stretching and strengthening exercises
buckets of ibuporofen
ice packs
heat packs
some nitroglcerine patches, doc said it was a long shot!
surgery next option but physio is getting my nerves in my arm (EMG) and spine/neck (MRI) checked out before she lets me go under the knife just in case for the last two years everybody has got the diagnosis wrong.
Doesnt bother me at all when riding MTB but hurts like hell on the road bike (less arm movementso it seizes up) or walking (gravity trying to straighten arm that doesnt appreciate being straightend. impossible to pick my nose even if I wanted to at times as my arm just wont bend.
