Tennis elbow???
Oh man, my arm hurts. I thought I'd slept on it wrong a couple weeks
ago, but that usually clears up in a day . The problem I'm having is
pain from the outside of the elbow on my right arm and it travels up
to my middle fingers. I know of a few people who have experienced this
and say there is a bad that one can wear around the fore-arm that can
help to get rid of the pain and possible put all back in order, but I
haven't explored the idea yet. It's starting to become difficult to
grip hand tools.
Anybody had any experience with this?
Mine has been a twenty year experience. Diagnosed as tennis elbow. Wore
the band around my arm, which helps when it acts up. It comes and goes.
Sometimes a nuisance, sometimes nearly unbearable. Took two cortisone shots
in it. Those hurt more than the tennis elbow. The first did nothing. The
second helped a little. Doc said only thing after that was surgery. That
knot that one hits on the outside edge of the frontal part of the elbow has
grown over the years. Still brings me to tears when I whack that.
What to do? Avoid all things that send a shock up your arm, like tennis,
hammering, slapping your puppy, things like that. But then, sometimes
everything bothers it. And some little nothing sets it off.
Probably feel better when it quits hurting.
