Tennis elbow ?


What can I do to help the pain and healing process?

Thank you for your advice.

This is a common condition due to inflammation of the insertion point of the muscles into the lateral epicondyle of the elbow.

There are 2 basic treatment options,1) physio, which is very effective but time consuming.2) Local steroid injection, this has a 30% fail rate, but may work very rapidly.

I have had tennis elbow off an on for many years. I found that Tramadol works wonders for the pain. I buy Tramadol online without a Rx at TramadolOvernight.Us. http://TramadolOvernight.Us/ .FREE TramadolRx with every tramadol online order. Report It

Take some anti-inflammatories, and do stretches, they will help, other than that, it takes time.

After exercise or strenuos activity if it hurts more, ice and rest your elbow. If the injury is over 48 hours old, use a heat pack.
I've got a stitched bag containing wheat which I heat in the microvave for two minutes and apply at night which really seems to alliviate the pain.
I also used an anti-inflammatory cream called
Voltaren Emulgel which worked wonders also.
good luck

There are there commonly accepted routes in the treatment of Tennis Elbow:
1. Surgery- Only required for 10% of the population of T.E. sufferers.

2. Cortosteroid Injections- Which have shown superior in the short term fot the relief of T.E., but have ended in a very high reoccurance rate of T.E.

3. Physiotherapy (through a Physical or Occupational Therapist). While a much slower relief rate than steroid injections mentioned above, this treatment option produces the best long term results, with the least number of reoccurances of T.E..

Parts of a good physiotherpy plan of care of T.E. usually include:
superficial heat and cold,
ultrasound,
electrotherapy,
transdermal drug delivery,
transverse friction massage and soft tissue mobilization, splinting,
therapeutic exercise and neuromuscular conditioning,
and lastly, work and sports modifications

Cold Laser Therapy (low level laser) is also an emerging modality which being shown to promote healing from T.E. Check out my site:

(Cold Laser Therapy for the treament of Tennis Elbow is what I am currently working on for my Master's Thesis.)

My suggestion is that if you go the route of physiotherapy, go to a Certified Hand Therapist, usually an Occupational Therapist, but sometimes a Physical Therapist. Both are experts in the rehabilitation of the hand and arm.

Hope this helps
