I am an active 63 years and have had a very painful elbow on the inside bone for about four months, stopped pickle ball and golf. Went to the Doctor after a couple months wearing elbow band and he diagnosed it as Golfers Elbow amid sent me to physio which is not helping. Still painful, wakes me up several times a night.  I tried an inflammatory cream, heat, cold but nothing seems to help.   Now I have a hard time holding even a plate with that hand

    What type of surgery was done?  I am doing physio but have had zero relief and am thinking about ask my doctor for cortisone injections.   Does anyone have any suggestions for other treatment options.  I am hoping to golf this summer.

    I feel your pain!  I also have it. His technical term was cubital tunnel syndrome. I have all of the same symptoms and will be having surgery Nov 14 to correct it.  I went through several rounds of cortisone injections with no luck. Sleeping is so hard when it hurts so bad at night and holding the plate, YIKES!!!  I wish you the best.

    Hi

    I wondered if your doctor had ever suggested a bone scan?

    I have had very bad elbow pain for a few months now and my doctor first ordered an Xray (which showed nothing abnormal) but he did feel cyst-like material in my arm so sent me for a bone scan. I don't really know why not a catscan or an MRI but I went for the scan just yesterday.
