tennis elbow
Posted , 14 users are following.
I have had tennis elbow now for 8 months, tried tablets which didn't help at all. then i had the injection last october which worked for 3 months. i work in a factory making & packing furniture so i am constantly lifting, pulling & twisting. now the pain is back & is really painful, i had another injection yesterday as the company i work for are not very helpful & keep putting me on the same job day in day out. today i am going to work to finally discuss what i can do!! even though i can hardly move my arm without experiencing alot of pain. any suggestions would be most grateful.

Then tell tale symptoms of the elbow but on the opposite side of the joint. GP injected the sore spot and it was fine for a few weeks. I have to agree with Olivia, I had been swimming three times a week, half a mile on each occasion for about three years. I have just got back to doing lengths and the pain has returned, mainly breastroke (pulling down through the water) and freestyle, although backstroke not so bad. Aged 69 with hypertension it is a brilliant exercise but now I have to stop as the pain is too debilitating. What is a poor girl to do?

The injections work by helping your body to heal itself. The PRPs Speed up repair of the damaged tendons, which are very slow to repair normally. I wish I had been able to have this done in the first place instead of steroids because I think they did more harm than good.
I don't know how widely used this treatment is. The consultant told me that some hospitals won't do them because there isn't enough evidence of their success but as he said to me, how will we get that evidence unless people like me have it done?
I hope this has been helpful. All the best.
