Some good info on here mate, I'm still suffering in my right elbow but I got one of these PhysioRoom Advanced Adjustable Elbow Support Neoprene Arthritis Pain Relief | eBay which is so much better than the elasticated tubes.

 

i'm getting some accupuncture soon off my neighbour but she said to leave until I get a quiet spell at work as it may flare up right after treatment.

If all else fails and you rethink the roids, know that the injection is straight into the damaged tendon. The tiny dose is only good for immediately assisting that area to heal. a jump start if you like, but as anyone who does weights knows, it is extremely effective for kicking the repair of muscle and tendon into action and making that area repair in the most efficient way.

Had it in both arms, tennis elbow on the outside and golfers inside,as others have said it can take six months + to heal on it`s own, tried everything except injections or surgery and eventually out of desperation one night I rubbed in some stuff the wife had for horses with sprains, noticed a difference the next day ,put it on twice a day and the prob had completely gone within a couple of weeks. Now when I get a twinge I stick it on at night and it`s usually gone by the morning. Worth a try ! "Arnica gel" made by IV HORSE You can find it online or at most horsey places. It`s also got chamomile, tea tree oil and aloe vera in it and it`s under a tenner for 250ml. This was about 15 years ago and now my old mom [ 84 year old ex physio ] and her cronies swear by it for their aches n pains. Might help, cheers

I'm thinking roids now! Tried the arnica gel and the arnica cream the herbalist prescribed me. Tried acupuncture and physio, icing etc. Had a lot of rest and it just doesn't seem to be getting better.
