I have had four wrists and elbows.

Nice one.

Suffered with the same problem a while back, still get bout's of it. Osteopath advised me to get this, several types available, but this one has a solid band, which apparently is the better type to have. If you decide to try it, get the one in the link!

It's tendon damage, the band tricks the body into thinking the damaged area isn't being used.

Hi All
how many of us window cleaners  suffer from tennis elbow and what been the  best cure.
sick of the pain
thanks

I used an elbow suppOrt strap alongside Ibuprofen. For me it worked well.

The last few months my shoulder has been playing up. Ive recently started going for sports massage for this and the girl has worked wonders on it. After the first session it was remarkably improved. Im going to keep going on a regular basis. She is very cheap actually, £35.00 for an hour.

That's what I do. I pay £32.50 was £30 for a 55 minute massage on shoulders and neck every 5 weeks. I have it done just before all my new estate work. As I usually have between 9 - 14 days on these new eastates. Lots of high windows. 3 story and higher. Works wonders. No pain in shoulders.

One of the reasons I am going electric reels. I want the least stress on my body. Employing and sitting in an office could be the best way

Off subject... but why is there a difference of five days with this work every five weeks?

I am an expert on this  lol Had golfers and tennis elbow for years. Very bad. I couldn't lift a kettle or wipe my bum...seriously. I tried every thing...other than acupuncture. Magnetic bracelets etc

Take Glucosamine Sulphate 500mg 2 times a day along with Omega3 and cod liver oil. Or any oily based tablet. This will take about 3 months to start working, but it works. If its mild pain, you will be ok. If its that's leaves 1 option and 1 bloody good one.
OPERATION.OPERATION.OPERATION.OPERATION.OPERATION!!!
Best thing I ever did.
You will never get rid 100% forever, but its great.
You also need to bend your fingers back before work. Look exercise up

Oh I see what you mean now. External factors like building/roads closed. Pavements being done. Too windy on some days. Had a bad run recently.

Some doctors say they don't inject any more. Operation is quick and easy.

I've had swollen fingers for a couple of months can't bend them or make a fist the pain is unreal have trouble lifting the kettle up and changeing gear in the van .and pushing in the rectus fitting on the hose reel takes about 10 min lol started with just one finger now it's in both hands and now iam getting neck and shoulder pain aswell doctor thought it mite be arthuritis but blood tests are saying it isn't got to see a specialist and try phisio soon :-(

I had it pretty bad 18 months ago and lasted 12 months the pain was unbelievable.

I tried everything from creams, arm supports and resting it but couldn't shake it off.

In the end I watched some videos about it and heavily massage the muscles around the elbow it took about 3 months but it's back to normal without a problem.  😄👍

I used to suffer badly with rotor cuff damage in my shoulder - I know that's not tennis elbow - but it still was a repetitive strain injury.  The pain could be severe and a course of prescription strength anti inflammatory tablets could sort it for a while.

But for the past three years I've been exercising regularly (running) and I've had no trouble with my shoulder.

They need an x-ray to show it up.

Rheumatoid arthritis can be difficult to diagnose because many conditions cause joint stiffness and inflammation and there is no definitive test for the condition

Ok thanks for that I did have an x Ray aswell but that only showed up the swelling aswell but the blood tests did come back high what ever that meens

Hi David. Sorry to hear that mate. My advice would be to get A sports massage every month and to stretch before and after work. Hope you get it sorted, let us know if you need any help

[duncan h]

Doing the correct stretches every morning is so important. Oddly, it never worked for me
