I had Prp injections after 1.5 yrs of pain. Doc said I had smutz for tendons... Basically nothing much left. All dark gray on the ultrasound where a healthy tendon would show white. Both elbows. Injections in May last year, then again in September. First time it was two weeks till I could drive. Two months before I had decent mobility again. After second set I was driving in two days, mobility in a week. By November I felt better than before the may injections. December ultrasound showed almost completely healthy tendons but I still had pain. Physical therapy for 6 months... A little more progress. Another 6 months and here I am still with some minor pain (almost constant). Thankfully this year I've been able to do my job at half throttle ( concrete finishing). I can drink coffee pain free and open door knobs pain free. So fairly happy. But would love to get rid of the residual pain and gain the other 50% strength back. I've been trying flossing of the arms. That gives short term relief and maybe some longer term healing. Just last two weeks I'm trying muscle scraping on one elbow. Seems to help a tiny bit. Will continue that for a couple more weeks. Frustrating that this started in October 2019 and I'm still in semi rough shape. I'm 42 so I understand that I heal super l slower than I used too... I'll keep searching and trying

Doctor prescribed some ointment and a brace, acute care done!! But, I instinctively knew that could not be the solution and found this post. Now, I am not going with the elbow support but shall use the ointment and do the exercises and correct my sleeping position. Stay blessed.

What a great video, so full of useful information and excellent advice. Intuitively, I have been treating my issue as you recommend, being careful not to overload or subject myself to continued repetitive movements, which is difficult, just as you say. I find that the most painful moments for me are when my arm is hanging, relaxed and I simply bend my arm. Keeping tension in my arm makes the pain disappear through the same movement. Unlike my knee injury, CBD ointment did nothing to ease the pain of this elbow injury, where it helped tremendously with my knee injury.

I have recently developed this through using small pruning shears over the space of only an hour or so, just using strong grip force which was quite difficult as the plant I was pruning was a flax bush, I had to apply a fair amount of pressure really, I only noticed the pain develop hours later and it grew worse as time went by. It's been around 4 weeks now, I was given a brace, like the one you use in another video but without the inflatable pillow part, just a piece of plain velcro really! I will follow your advice in this video and try to work it but not overdo it I think. I have had this before years ago after doing a repetitive job, technically returning to work too soon to an unsuitable job, years earlier I had multiple shoulder dislocations - around 5 or 6, I lost count to be honest. I had one shoulder reconstruction that was opening the shoulder up method, that was ok and it didn't dislocate and I had no shoulder problems from then really, but I think this is when the tennis elbow occurred. I had RSI type symptoms (I thought so anyway) in both wrists from using a machine that required lots of downward pressure then application of 2 buttons with your thumbs whist holding down wooden framing for large mirrors. Basically, it nailed 90-degree angles till you rotated the piece and completed a square. The machine would also grip then apply nails to the underside of the work piece in an upward direction, I had to have another surgery on the shoulder, and this was done arthroscopically probably 20 yrs ago now. I'm 57 - I think the elbow will require more drastic work, maybe injections, I hope not but the Dr said if the brace and local topical volataren don't work in 4 weeks he'll inject it. It's been over 4 weeks now...I don't want to have steroid injections so at this stage I will stick to lighter use whilst rubbing the arm gently and often. It has not healed at all, and I would say it's become more painful actually. I can barely use my arm it's so painful, even trying to pick up a cup of coffee I find I need to assist that arm as the strength is minimal and it's very painful. I can't remember how the prior tennis elbow healed. I have a feeling it disappeared once I had the shoulder re-worked on via the arthroscope method. Maybe Dr will have notes on this, but my files were transferred to another practice, and much were just photocopying those days and no real keyboard entry to a computer was made so it's a matter of sifting through pages of junk. I'm a photographer so this may be making it worse as my camera is very heavy. I try to use my left arm as much as I can though. I will watch more of your videos - thanks for putting them up on here.

Enthesitis due to Ankylosing Spondylitis opened the door to a tennis elbow type of pain that never ever ever goes away. 7 years since it first started, I am still dealing with it. Flexbar loading seemed to take me on the right path, but even after graduating to the Blue, the most demanding, it came right back -- even though I tried to acclimate to every new demand I placed on it. For a super minor case, many things will work. For something perhaps more rare; there are unknown components evidently at work. Sigh

After 2 weeks after the cortisone shot, I went back to work and was feeling great. I took it easy at work, but I started to feel my left elbow starting to get strained a month ago. And now my right both my elbows hurt. I can't sleep unless I wear my compression sleeves on both arms. It even hurts to lift my blanket at night.

I've been dealing with tennis elbow pain for about 4 months -- it's actually from playing tennis. I stopped playing once the pain became unbearable, and I've tried various PT methods at home (I had a phone consult with a PT). I will see some improvement, but then I'll back slide, and right now I'm in a period of increased pain. It's on the top of the forearm running back to the elbow, but it's also in the crook of my arm (the PT suggested that I have biceps tendinitis), and also on the outside of the elbow, close to the funny bone. Flexing and then straightening the elbow causes pain, as does lifting any weight at all with the palm facing down (such as taking a cutting board out of the drying rack). I'm really feeling hopeless these days, it's a frustrating injury to say the least.

Hey man, I am feeling for you. In a similar situation, 2 month and on. My tennis elbow came from a combination from tennis + gardening work. I play ~10h per week of 4.0 level matches / drills; i have decent relaxed technique using my body and never had tennis elbow before, but first time in my life i did some gardening work for couple weeks and it was too much. My learnings from TE: 1/ read "talk tennis" forum if you haven't yet, search te or tennis elbow there, many experiences and advices 2/ I had to accept to stop playing with my right hand. I don't stop using my right hand in daily life even if it causes pain (like you said, even simple flexing and strengthening was pain some days). I don't do any strengthening exercises like flex bar until the pain reduces to zero in daily life, I plan to start flexbar very slowly and gradually after. I don't do intense stretching as it worsens the pain. I do some light pressuring massage in the evenings, like pressing a point in my arm and keeping pressure for 20secs, I do it far away from elbow, and it seems to be helping a little. Braces or ice didn't do much help. 3/ It took 2 weeks after I stopped playing with right hand to start seeing less pain in daily life. 4/ I started to learn to play tennis with the left hand to keep the sport going. Its not easy, but very interesting experience 5/ Overall this experience also led me to learn much more then I knew before about tennis form and technique and exposed some things which i was doing wrong, like my wrist was often bent in forehand finish or backhand lag or serve and even shadow swinging without the ball was causing pain. Wrist should be neutral at most times in all shots. Backhand type shots and serves are the worst for elbow, forehand is OK, so study you backhand shots form how you hit them, to not repeat in future. I have also increased the size of my grip, I had it too small as i liked the feeling, but it is not good for elbow. I have also reduced tension from 23kg to 16kg:) Lastly, I changed to multifilaments.

I've had this condition on and off for about 20 years through cortisol shots, PT, ibuprofen and exoskeletal supports. If you use your arms for heavy work or exercise, like I do, I can assure you the condition will never fully go away but you can manage the discomfort through everything mentioned in this video. Unfortunately its pretty much of a life long affliction like many other types of chronic inflammation but use the info in this video to manage the issue and control the pain... everything mentioned here is helpful, and in my lengthy experience with this problem, definitely worthy of your time.

I can relate. It is cyclical for me. It get betters until it is not. For me, I know what my triggers are. For example, I know my tendons hate the hammer curl motion. This is what generally triggers it for me. I get confident thinking, if I start very light, I can strengthen the tendon and eradicate it for good. Nope! I fall right back into pain and weeks of recovery then I have to start from the beginning again.

@@albertc2390Yup. Bodybuilder here. Took 6 months off and lost a bunch of muscle trying to heal this. I have come to the conclusion I will just hammer away at it until it tears and then just get it surgically put back in place. Nothing helps. All the stretching, exercising, PT, dry needling,etc has done nothing. So fuck it. I’m just gonna keep doing my normal routine until I tear it. May be out of the game for a while but I can’t not work out. It’s the only thing in my life I enjoy doing.

Thanks for the quite informative video. I have tennis an elbow problem in my right elbow for 3 months. Done ultrasound found 4mm tear in tendon. The doctor suggested taking a cortisone injection, but I don't want to take it. Now im having a problem with my left hand. I work in the production department and it is repitativ work. At the moment, im taking care of the elbow by wearing braces and doing light work.Please guide me on how long it will take to heal tendon tear? Do they heal over a period of time or tear won't heal? Do I need to go for an injection? Thanks.

I have developed tendinitis in my right elbow primarily. I have felt slight symptoms in my left elbow but not often. My right elbow now hurts most of the time especially after work. I’m a driver and drive up to 11 hours a day up to 70 hrs a week. I believe the issue is with over gripping. I’ve started to try relaxing my grip, not over lapping my fingers as much and trying to keep pressure and control on the steering wheel with my palm but there are times when I do have to have more control and I’m forced to grip tightly. I try to vary my hand position on the wheel when I can but the safest hand positions are the cause of the problem. I stay in these hand positions most often. I’ll start incorporating these tips and trying the wrist support instead of the elbow strap as much. If you have more in depth advice for professional drivers please send it.

This is great. When you say not to overdo it with the micro loading of exercises, do you mean do them once a day do them twice a day? I understand the static positioning variation throughout the day, but the actual exercises I’m curious how much you would call overdoing it
@focusrehab
@focusrehab Жыл бұрын
thanks for watching! Overdoing it will vary by person so a good general rule of thumb is - if exercises produce more pain, stiffness and/or swelling that remains present into the next day, then it's too much. Time is the real healer - a lighter load over many days/weeks gets the job done while a stronger load may just irritate things. Good luck!

Got a tennis elbow to the point I could still play, but when I would push the lower arm and the joint, it would hurt. Also slight stiffness would appear the day after. I quit playing for almost two weeks, started fasting for 4 days in a row per week and took magnesium and collagen next to healthy food like fish, kiwi, hemp seeds, goji berries, inca berries, … after less than a week I started playing again and it is much better. No more pain, no more stiffness. I wouldn’t say i got rid of it completely but I’m playing a bit less now (not every day multiple times anymore). I also think that if you stop using that arm, your tendons are not getting stronger and the problem will come back as soon as you restart your activity…

My intense elbow pain was caused by trying to open a jar.. it took me while to figure out . I was going to see my chiropractor and his aide told me they will do trigger point and myofasial release. So I looked up treatment for lateral epicondyle pain watched a treatment on you tube. I did it to myself and within 1/2 hour I had complete relief.

She was a therapist demonstrated how to relieve tennis elbow pain. I use Gastron techniques to relieve pain as well even though I don't have the tools. Cold metal scrapping the muscles and tendons relieve the pain with cross fiber friction movements. Google gastron techniques.

It may seem counterintuitive but I avoid those tender spots totally - too many times I've found them to be pockets of swelling/edema or things like superficial nerves or other structures that don't do well (or do very badly indeed) with the high repetition and intensity of a massage gun. Good luck!
