Answer 2

TEE,

I have gotten rid of more cases of tendonitis than I care to count, and each time I cured it I did it the same way:

Rest the joint and take naproxen sodium with breakfast and dinner.

This is easy but inconvenient and it will take weeks. The longer you've had tennis elbow, the longer it'll take to cure it, but it can be cured if you are patient.

Make a splint to immobilize your elbow. This is much easier than it sounds, for you can make a quite servicable splint out of carboard or aluminum flashing material and duct tape ("The handyman's secret weapon"). Then sling the splinted arm and DON'T USE IT for four weeks, all the while taking an antiinflammatory. There's nothing magic or special about naproxen sodium, really, I just like it because we only need to take it twice a day, and we can take it in amounts up to 1200 mg a day, the dosage often prescribed when it was a prescription medication. You won't need to take that much, only two in the morning and two at night, but 1200 mg per day is the safe maximum.

And always take it with food because it will irritate your stomach if you do not.

There. It's simple. I know that present methods prefer physical therapy, and PT is very good. But if you don't go to PT, then rest and Alleve is a very good next best thing.

I've had tendonitis (that's what tennis elbow is) in both of my shoulders, elbows, legs (Iliotibial Band and shin splints--we runners can do that, I'm afraid), and one foot, and in some places more than once over the years. I've cured it each time with this method. It will work.

The most important part of this is time. You will feel better very soon and you will be tempted to use it normally before it is healed. Don't. Let it rest even after you think it is cured. Then, when you decide to move it again, do it slowly and gently at first, slowly increasing its movement and intensity over the next week or two.

You'll be fine.

Then, of course, figure out why you got it to begin with so you can avoid a recurrance. Inadequate warm-up? Wrong form? Repeated pulling at an odd angle?

Once I got tennis elbow by not replacing the power steering in my little Tempo. "It's not so bad," I thought. "I can do this." I drove it without power steering for about six months--takes me a while to learn some things--and then got tennis elbow. I sighed, fixed the power steering, and then splinted my arm. I've been fine since.

Answer 3

I had a cortisone shot 5 weeks ago, my elbow felt fine for 3 weeks but then my elbow pain came roaring back worse than before the injection. I have been using this tennis elbow secrets program now for 5 days and my elbow feels much better. I can really feel my arm getting stronger as each day passes.

Cure Tennis Elbow?

Answer 4

Without going to see someone, the best home cure is to pick up a tennis elbow brace at the chemist. This is a band that goes around the upper forearm and holds the teres major in place. Then take an antiinflammatory like ibuprofen. With rest it should calm down in a couple of weeks. If no relief then see a GP for injections or a chiropractor. Surgery is sometimes required if you do not splint the area and allow the inflammation in the lateral epicondyle to calm down

Answer 5

Hello, Sure wished i knew, i also suffer badly with this. Two weeks ago i had a cortisone injection in my elbow, but said there is no guarantee that it would work, and that i may have to have another one..Well it has not worked going to have another one, but they are so painful to have, but what is worrying me, is if this one does not work,what will they do. I can not walk around with tennis elbow all my life,as it is so painful and it restricts you doing things.

Answer 7

A chiropractor can determine if the elbow is tracking right, if your pronator teres muscle is inflammed by trigger points and take appropriate action.
Go to www.erchonia.com and search for a chiropractor in your location who uses a Cold Low Level Light Laser. Awesome for relief of pain and inflammation!

Answer 8

Go to the Chemists and get wrist support. It restricts the turning of the wrist (which often causes it to start with), this will in turn allow the inflamation to settle down. It has a shaped metal support which goes underneath the wrist, and fits inside a light brown gauze type material. I found the best one goes around the thumb and fastens with velcro.

You should also see your G.P. if the pain is quite severe.

I would also try to work out what you did / do to cause it in the first place.

Answer 9

There are 2 viable options, physiotherapy, this is safe, reliable but time consuming. Local steroid injection, this can be much more rapid, but has a 30% fail rate in the best hands.

Answer 10

Yea, you just have to warm it up and tape it up before you work out, than ice afterwards. Its a b!tch I know, I play baseball and got it really bad during season and thats what my trainer did for me and it was better in week.
