Who said I quit LOL.

I am still suffering even though I haven't done anything for ages. A simple test to see if it's tennis elbow is to straighten your arm , if you can and stretch your fingers out straight. With the other hand apply pressure to the top of your fingers and try and lift them while pressing down. If its tennis elbow it will kill near your funny bone.

I have had 2 cortisone injections in each elbow. 3 of them worked but eventually it comes back. My advice if you do have a jab is to avoid using your arm for a week or so. It will feel better within 24 hrs, but unless you let it heal you may run the risk of a recurring problem.......like me.

As an alternative ice regularly, rest, ibuprofen and voltarol gel.

Thanks for the advice San,
yesterday I couldnt even lift the sugar container out of the cupboard with my bad arm but today I can after double dosing with the glucasomine but the pain is still there,
I wanna buy a tennis elbow brace but cant find one  :2gunsfiring_v1:
 :) DINGO :)

billstup:
After trying your test San I have come to the conclusion that I`ve got tennis elbow too  :(

Bob_Acid:
it took about two years for mine to sort itself out   :(

Dingobmxer:
bought a tennis elbow brace today, basically a 2" wide strap that you velcro round your arm and it takes the pressure off the tendons and it works  :smitten:
hopefully the tendons can rebuild themselves now they are not being stretched all the time?
 :) DINGO :)
