Tennis elbow

[cerneARB]

Hi Pepole,

 

happy new year to all btw.

 

Anyone had tennis elbow in their career and how did you deal with it?

 

I have been off work with it for a month now.Had painkillers off the doctor,rested it,strapped it up and had a cortzone injection 3 weeks ago and due another next thursday and its still stopping me from working:thumbdown:, its still causing me imense pain and lack of full movement.

 

Any experinces with the same condtion and how you got over it?

More alcohol? Never had it, so been lucky

Yeah- got so bad that my hand wouldnt work after a while, forcing nearly a year off work. Get down to a good physiotherapist who will treat it with ultrasound or laser and get a proper sports support off the physio or direct Elbow Support - Vulkan Tennis Elbow Support and rest up properly, or you wil have a long long time off work and permanent injury (my arm will never be right again). The physio will give you some remedial excercises too.

 

Hope this helps.

What did you do for money in that year if you could not work?

Ran up a lot of debt:laugh1:

 

No, seriously, i did run up a lot of debt, but i changed the way i worked. I took on employees and did more sawmilling and just tightened up the bellt a couple of notches. I had had a very good run which actually caused the tennis elbow the preceding couple of years, so had a good bit to fall back on. That is now all gone and more besides, a couple of years down the line. That is why i say take time off now before it is too late.

I agree...think taking time off to get it better now is better than a whole year off.i like the look off those comppression bands..think i will get one.

 

Thanks for the link mate and the advice.

Cerne.

How do you think your tennis elbow came about?

[cerneARB]

I reckon from repeative strain from gripping rope and raking hard..over and over again.

 

Vulcan strap ordered...that be my birthday pressie then for the 4th of Jan.

I had it for over 2 years, I don't think I was as bad as some of you guy.

 

I used one of those neoprene sleeve support things and took ibuprofen and just carried on.

 

It drove me crazy, thought I would end up changing career, then it just went.

 

I have never found resting works for me, I prefer to just keep going, I do the same with my back, if it goes I put on a weight lifting belt (so tight I can only just breath) take pills and keep going.
