Before I have the inner elbow pain then eventually my outer elbow too. It is so painful. You are correct when you say that particular area on the elbow where the pain comes from and I'm like "there, you hit the right spot". I am using the strap on my forearm now. This video explains better on how to use the strap and how the strap lessens the pain. Thank you.

Thanks Doc, had this 4 years ago in both arms, rehabbed for a year, totally went away and I got bold and chopped wood recently and now I'm right back where i started :(

@OrthoEvalPal 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Mitch, I am sure that if you rehabbed for a year you probably know a lot of this but I will put it out there anyway. Once symptoms are gone it is important to keep the forearms strong but equally important is to strengthen the shoulder blade musculature. Larger handles are less stressful than small handles and a tacky handle requires less gripping force than a slippery one. Also, do your heavy gripping activities in moderation and not for long periods of time. The tennis elbow strap can help dissapate force when gripping. Best of luck! Paul

I used a brace. It felt fine and seemed to help. When I removed the brace I had quite a bubble of swelling between the brace and my hand, just below the brace. I cannot find anything on what happened of if it is concerning.. I presume the brace was too tight, but it did not restrict movement and it did not seem too tight.

@itsmeamc3772 3 жыл бұрын

I have outer elbow pain and sore connected forearm muscle with occasional slight strain in outer 2 fingers, no gripping issues. (CTR done years ago, btw.) Tried the strap today and noticeable swelling in hand so decided it was too tight, but when I loosen it, it is not effectively blocking the strain on the area, not at all. This pain gradually came on, I think from repetitive typing on laptop (work related.) Exacerbated by weight lifting then again when I did tree trimming. I don't know what to do, watched your video and if this isn't tight enough it is useless but when tightened, hand is swelled

I've just put on a tubia elastic strap to help me, I'm trying to use painkillers as much I don't like using them all the time It's that bad I can't even lift a 500ml bottle of coke cola to put on a shelf anymore. Sometimes I also get a sharp pain in a tendon above the elbow going up the upper arm sometimes

Fairly certain he said "you shouldn't wear it all day long". However, I've been dealing with tennis elbow for the past month or so, and I've found things as simple as answering the phone at work, or opening a door, or even gripping the lightest of objects to aggravate the pain. I've been wearing the strap throughout the majority of the day the past 2-3 days, and it's made a huge difference in those minor activities, as I'm able to do them with little to no pain now.

Hey how do I tell if I have Tennis Elbow or not? The pain is mostly behind my elbow (on the side of the joint closest to the shoulder). Is this tennis elbow? The pain seems to be alleviated by wearing it as if its for tennis elbow. I think I got the pain from repetitive motions from steering and scrubbing dishes (I am delivery driver), as well as curling dumbells and doing dips? Edit: oh I have some pain in front of the elbow as well.

Hi, thank you for uploading this video and I plan to get one for myself. I agree what one of your viewer said that its not easy to walk to the clinic nowadays with the current situation and I had been bearing tennis elbow since 4 or 5 months back without knowing it in the first place. And only visited the doctor 4 days back! Now with the supplied painkiller the pain is less. But the pills will run out soon and I am always working with my laptop plus doing houseworks. Should i get more medicine supplies (Doctor gave me Beazyme & Remafen) or wait for my elbow's progress? If there is pain to the wrist, is this connected to tennis elbow? I also undergo minor ops on my trigger finger a year ago. Does that all related to having this pains? Just to get your opinion if possible. Thank you.

Had my bad elbow for 4 months with zero improvement and at times it got worse from bad KZfaq videos and bad local advice from physios. What worked is 90% rest but 10% squeezes followed by ice....3 sets of 20 seconds initially every day, at first when it was chronic I just closed my fist (followed by ice) then after a week or two increased to clench fist, then squeeze fist as though squeezing juice from a lemon. Once no pain after a few weeks of squeezes, I moved to gentle rotation with a broomstick, then rotation and holding the rotation either way for 20 seconds. Once elbow reached the moderate stage I then went to towel rotation with hands going opposite ways. If any of the above hurt or stung then go back to the previous level until it's ready to move on....WORST MISTAKE is going to the next level when it just wasn't ready. Trust me the above works and is the correct rate at which to recover, after 4 months of hell....the above routine sorted it in 4 weeks.

First of all, you may not have tennis elbow and a strap could make it worse. Your brace is too tight if it hurting more. I would recommend a rest from heavy gripping in the gym. Strapping weights around the wrist eliminates the gripping so you can continue to strengthen the shoulders. Best of luck!

I would put it where I showed it in the video. If it causes more pain with it there, you may have radial tunnel syndrome.

What if my forearm area to my thumb tingles? Is that considered tennis elbow? I don't have any pain, just constant tingling from my forearm to my thumb, not my other digits.

This would require further testing. A cervical herniated disc could cause this also.

Do you do the tennis elbow exercises with a brace?

I bought the Futuro brand tennis elbow strap and it has an added cushion inside. Should the cushion go on the area where you said the pressure should be?

Yes
