Years of hand work did the same to me. I wear the special glove that came out and I also use my Dr Ho's battery operated damp pads. Use Dr Ho's treatment on bad back and leg. Greatest thing. I also wear the magnetic bracelet.

I have it also, take shots for it when it gets so bad I can't quilt. I drink "joint juice" it helps, I get it from Sam's

Sorry to hear about your tennis elbow. Your doctor is your best bet. I have iced/rested/cortisone shots for years and eventually had surgery on both elbow and bless the doctor's hands everything works great and that was about ten years ago. Good luck on the MRI results. Wishing you a speedy recovery from this bout!

I would also suggest accupuncture. My husband and a cardiothoracic surgeon I worked with both had it. 3 visits and it was gone. Both had struggled for months prior to me telling them to try the accupuncture. Try it!

I also had a problem... not tennis elbow, but my shoulder froze after being in a cast and I couldn't lift my arm. After 3 months of useless therapy, I tried acupuncture. After the first visit I had a 75% improvement. Took 3 visits to get it to normal. You might try acupuncture. It really helps for a lot of things.

Give it a rest..read a book, watch TV, do anything that does not require use of the elbo....but do gentle exercise so it doesnt get stiff. Good luck, also follow the docs orders. Everything takes time.

I have tennis elbow. I play tennis but I got it from smocking. After I take a break for a few months it stops hurting. Im making 5 smocked nightgowns for christmas gifts so Im sure it will be back before the new year.

I have had it and I think itis just wear and tear on the body. It's been 2 years and it still gets a little testy from time to time. It takes a lot of time to heal. You will be fine.

This happened to me many years ago and y doctor called it child lifters elbow since I ran a day care. I also had the velcro band and I still use it when I have flare ups and cortisone shots do help if it is really bad.

How times have changed!!!! I worked for a doctor from 1969-72 (wow - 100 yrs ago!!!!) and when people came in with tennis elbow or tennis wrist -- he inserted a needle and extracted the fluids!!!! Wonder if that's the "surgery" they're talking about now!!??!!
