I have swim elbow. I have cut down and wear and elbow strap Also, with backstroke, I try to be careful and gentle Twice a week is most I do When I go to the gym..I limit.exercises to very few elbow bending ones So far getting better and I start using a spikey massage ball and apply Max pressure every alternative day ,on the painful spots It is very painful with the pressure, but blood moves in to heal After 4 weeks, my pain has subsided . I will keep trying till it's recovered

My injury is partial tear of ligament and my doctor is just diagnosing it as tendinitis. The tear was 5mm long at one stage and repaired to 2mm and now I’ve torn it again to 7mm. Cortisone helps, I couldn’t handle the pain anymore 😕 I’ve had PRP, shock wave therapy and am on BPC 157 and TB 500 daily injections.. I’m doing KZfaq physical therapy on it 🤣 it’s already cost me a fortune lol hopefully it heals again soon, thank you for the video and channel.. I will be watching your videos for advice 😌

For me to be exact... Took me 7 months..

arm wrestlers best friend is curcumin and type 1 collagen peptides and c vitamin period , with out you will get chronic inflammation and that’s the key for all kinds of diseases including cancer and arthritis

curcumin is reducing inflammation NOT preventing, you need very low inflammation to kik healing process

completely wrong about inflammation 👎👎👎

Suggestion: keep your hand away from your face during sleep. Keep the elbow extended and by your side or out to the side. Don't have a bent elbow as you sleep. You can build this into a habit so you don't bend your elbow while sleeping.

Good Lord the info on the net is crazy varied concerning tennis elbow. But NO ONE has addressed a very basic question. Should I do therapy exercises (tyler twists.squeeze ball,,,etc) when it causes pain. Not discomfort but pain. Like a little above moderate pain. Sharp pain. Why does no one address this?

After waking up its pain so badly

This is ruining my life

1 year in. Extensive physio failed (with daily exercises), steroid injection failed... PRP next month and been told there's only 50% chance it will work. Really losing hope I can get rid of it.

I had been babying this injury and finally did a light workout earlier in the week, amazed that it feels better! I think the blood flow is key. I even did forearm lifts lightly. Thank you, much appreciated. It is tricky to crack the case but great info.

6 years with both tennis elbows, i am a carpenter and i need to work

Thank you! If there's no inflammation, then why is it referred to as "lateral epicondylitis?" "itis" typically refers to "inflammation of"- Therefore, lateral epicondylitis would indicate inflammation of the lateral epicondyle...???

This is a fantastic rundown! I have been struggling with medial epicondylitis for 18 months. I'm 51 and play a ton of golf. I went through the hoops of PT (which I knew wasn't going to help), tried a cortisone injection (got a few weeks relief from it), then after an MRI they found a 7mm tear. (I haven't weight trained or played golf since Feb, and then I couldn't barely swing a club). I then opted for a PRP injection (which I suspected wasn't going to help and actually made the pain worse than before); I think the physician may have botched it. My sports med physician gave me the choice between PRP and surgery, so I figured I'd try the least invasive option first. Anyhow, I just got surgery a few days ago. They did tendon release and debridement. My surgeon told me that this was my last resort due to the state of those Tendons. I'm hoping I get good results.

I’ve been playing piano for 50 years, never any issues after working on a Rachmaninov prelude with long stretches I injured the area between third and fourth fingers in left hand. Went to the Dr he said stop playing for 6 months, in the meantime tape the third and fourth fingers together below the knuckle. Then do certain hand exercises. Every day for 20 mins. I’m into 2 months already. Fingers feel better but not 100%. This guy here isn’t really offering and treatment alternatives. I did get a cortisone shot but I won’t have anymore. I don’t think it’s a good idea. Just have to stop playing for a while. Common sense.

OK, what was the method we're all waiting?

I'm a drywall finisher . Constantly banging screws in and jabbing loose Sheetrock free . Holding my hawk with my left hand and use a trowel with my right . I use cortisone shots . I gotta work .

Tendons get all the action, all your muscles attached to it 😢

Hello for elbow stiff after surgery may you help

My chair armrest is the same height as my keyboard/mouse tray. Custom made it that way myself. Is that a bad idea? Been using it for almost two years now and it somehow (i think) relieved my left tennis elbow pain (due to bad angle) when I'm working on my computer. My typing/mouse hands/forearms are just flat horizontal. Elbow angle 90 and slightly above when I lean back a little. Will it cause me problems in the future?

Thanks for nothin 😢

I took 2 years off the gym+ chiropractor, came back and still have it

So this was a commercial

You did a great job of explaining the entire concept in a very simple layman's language. The tennis elbow not only hurts your muscles but also creates mental stress as it derails one from all the core activities. I have been suffering for over 7 weeks and it is settling down. I hope there is a quicker mechanism for healing this injury. Never in my wildest dreams, I thought accidentally hitting my elbow on a door post have such ramifications on all my activities.

EXCELENT!!!!!!

YOU FORGOT COULD/WARM SHOWERS! BEST WARM UP!

I share a lot of his story, pianist, started fine, 3 years later, (around 2018-19) pain in the thumbs, later in the pinkies, in the palm as well, and at the end also in the wrist. I did calistenics for one and a half years, then a half year in the gym and pain was terrible. I did piano and calistenics at the same time. I also have hyper-flexibility and double joints (in the hand), or that's what I think the name is, basically my last falanx of all the fingers can bend in both directions, specially my thumb. I think this is very bad for piano and sports. Both my passions :( At that time I didn't know why the pain. I had a terrible deppression, I had to stop lifting and I coincidentally could't play piano regularly for 1 year. The pain slowly went away, meanwhile I went to doctors, I had to wait 6 months to get citated to the cardiologyst to discard possible cardiopathies, to the genetist (but this was cancelled), I went to quiropractics, traumatologyst (who said I was serotonin defiency) but didn0t help at all... So a year later I was so depressed and demotivated in life that I lost contact with my friends (this was during china global thing), next year I quited my university. Next summer I started recovering my sanity and started eating healthy, more than ever, started playing piano seriously again, and I fell into the inflamation speech. Then 1 year later (2023) I started calisthenics again, with less intensity, and 3 months ago (February 2024) started going to a gym 4 times a week... 1 week ago my thumbs started hurting again, so I beg you, what should I do? I've seen the whole interview, the things I learnt are to try to help the body heal, don't get rid of inflamation, to help blood flow, to warm my hands with water, to learn how to massage them (I need help with this one), and to not take anti-inflamatories. And that I need to break down the adhesions (I don't know how either :( , or where to look for). Should I stop playing the piano until I'm healed? Thank you thank you, this was a very relieving cup of hope to find your channel, and this pianist talking about something I tought I was the only one dealing with.

Thank you for so much info in just a short time. Really helpful

contridicting your other videos .. in which you said tennis elbow does not have inflammation ... turns out you're the scam

What about tennis elbow caused by frequent table wiping?

I don't know what's going on with me but I've got bicep tendonitis in my shoulder but now I've just tried doing internal rotation with dumbell and my forearm near my elbow is painful too touch. And elbow popping too have I got more than one injury going on here

*Ice Pack it 6-hours a day, it should settle and vanish in 2-Months!!*

How many months will it take me to recover completely?

Hate your videos talk talk talk talk talk talk ….. talk talk talk ….. but nothing useful said ….. go sell used cars

Wtf man tell me here!

Hi sir I was suffering from the same for two months then my doctor gave me steroids injection I got recovered but after 2 months I felt the pain again and @same time I went to Dr bu after taking so much medicine still no relief...any suggestions 🙏

Think 10 times before you do a cortison shot. If you do have tennis elbow and you know the reason for it, most likely getting the shot will make it worst long term

Thanks

Thanks, ice didn’t stop my pain at all

Nice presentation, thanks

what about using a brace just while you're at work I have very minimum pain in the mornings But halfway through work my elbow is burning I'm wondering if that is slowing down the healing process

The ENTIRE video is him telling how everyone else's treatments are crap. He puts forth not one single alternative.

Heavy reverse curls has was the culprit for me.

This dude is BRUTAL to listen to.

Hard exercise when you get older is a catch 22. It increases your power, and the more your power increases the greater the strain on your connective tissues.

51:10 Optimal diet ? Allen you don't know what the optimal diet is ? Vegan, non acid, with little to no processed food. Milk products are acidifying and promoting inflammation, animal and animal products are also to ban for the same reasons. Fruit juices and tomatoes are also to avoid.

49:00 there is a huge misunderstanding: warmup is not about having warm tissues, but to have the physiology started, in particular the aerobic glycolyse. Allen, why did not you react to that ?

I had problems at the shoulder, and could not be solved with medecine for months. I solved it with Yoga practice, ie., reinforcement and stretching.

This was a pretty useless video. More of an advertisement than anything else!
