any cure for tenis elbow?

Answer 1

Other than rest, NSAID's and cortisone there is no treatment for tennis elbow , and the medications above only relief the symptoms. I don't know of any medication that can really totally cure tennis elbow.
you can get more info about tennis elbow and available treatments at the Health Information Center : http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=007185308018807068018%3Ax2z07lqx3mg

Answer 2

Tennis elbow is an inflammation of the joint...it carries the name tennis but can be caused by many other things other than playing tennis....Try putting ice on the area if it just started or heat if it is a old problem...You can take over the counter Advil or Motrin....If no better within a day or so you should see a Orthopedic Dr..who will x-ray the affected part and may inject with a cortisone type injection and give you a stronger anti-inflammatory medicine....

Answer 3

i am sorry to here about it . i have been there. i have included
a good explanatory site below , as well as one that will show
some exercises that will help. apply ice several times a day for about 20-25 minutes. if you have access a "tens" machine , or nerve stimulator will speed the healing and reduce the pain. it is important that you don't begin your activity again until the pain is gone and then its good to wear a protective strap, see below, to prevent recurrence. if you are playing tennis, or a racket sport you might wish to have a pro take a look at your game. tennis elbow often occurs as a result of a late swing or an abbreviated snap serve, either of which transfers pressure from the wrist to the tendon in the elbow. if you don't get relief in 3 weeks , see an orthopedic doctor. good luck.

Answer 4

physio and constant stretching and ice. dont take medication unless you have to and i wouldn't go for an injection if i were u!! i suffer tennis elbow regurarly as i play in a tennis academy but to prevent if happening again, there may be a problem with the weight or style of your racket or with the way you're hitting it so get a coach to check that out. Medication IS NOT NESCECARY. this always worked for me. also don't play for a while to let your elbow re-adjust.

Answer 5

Tennis Elbow Treatment

-Cortisone Injections
-Anti-inflammatory Medications
-Ice the Injury

I come from a serious tennis family and my father and my 2 sisters have both suffered from this. They have all done the cortisone injection therapy and have great success.

The only draw back is the pain of having the injections- other wise its GREAT!

Good luck!

Answer 6

well u poor thing ,ive suffered tennis elbow in both of my arms,well painful,i had to have the injections that stopped it being so painful,but 4 now go get a bag of frozen peas and place it on ur arm and dont do anything thats usin ur arms too much ,go get the injection om monday,but the key factor is not to do anything too strenous for a long while otherwise it just returns,by the way does anyone in ur family suffer from osteoarthritis/this is arthritis in ur joints

Answer 7

Two best options:

1) physiotherapy - excellent results, a bit time consuming.

2) local injection-30% fail rate, tiny risk of infection (A disaster if it happens but very rare!) Can relieve symptoms in 7-10 days. May need up to 3 injections. (If done well usually one occasionally 2)

Answer 8

Try some Advil (also known as Motrin or by its generic name, Ibuprofen). Follow label directions, you can take it every 4 hours. It is known that it's hard on the stomach, so you may want to eat something when you take it. If that doesn't help it after several days, then you'll need to see a doctor. Best of luck to you.

Answer 9

Get a steroid injection and avoid what is causing the tennis elbow-if it is a faulty backhand in tennis, then correct it. You have to correct the precipitating factor-otherwise it will keep coming back.

Answer 10

Tennis elbow is a disease of too much stress of the elbow (arm). Yes, there is cure if you give the arm enough rest (it could be long).
