Had a sore elbow for about six weeks now, thought it was arthritis as I was beginning to get a burning pain down my forearm, went to the doctors last week and turns out it's tennis elbow   been on anti inflamatories for a week now and no change, next step is physiotherapy. I am managing work ok but certain movements are killing me, silly little things like squeezing a ketchup bottle are a real struggle. I have actually scaled my work right back over the last few years and I only have 1 employee now ( used to have 3 ). I really didn't want to employ again but looks like I'm gonna have to and take on more of a supervisory role for myself.

Within a year of switching to wfp a few years back I suffered with this too. I happened to be visiting  an osteopath for an unrelated problem when he noticed my discomfort with my left arm. He offered to treat it with acupuncture. I thought, "What can I lose?" I'd suffered with it for about three weeks at this point. Within 3 days of the treatment the pain had subsided considerably and it never returned in that arm. When it started up in the other elbow a few months later I went to him immediately. It cleared up much quicker in that arm than the first. Might be worth a try.

There are a few exercise you can do to help, plenty info on net.

Takes time but will improve

You need a sports massage. Deep tissue. It will sort it in 3-4 sessions.

Had similar found a good neoprene elbow support really helped as soon as I feel a niggle I put it on for a few days .I find it has to be a bit tight to work

[ChumBucket]

Mine lasted 12 months. I was told it would and funnily enough it lasted exactly that. Had physio but that did nothing at all to omprove it.

[DB Cleaning Services]

I put up with it for months,tried everything ,nothing worked,the doctor gave me a steroid injection in January I took a week off to rest it,so it would work, absolutely amazing never got a twing or anything with it, until last week started getting pains again,it's now killing again,going to see doc for another one,I've been told you can have 3 a year,

[Dave Willis]

Have sex with the other hand.

Neoprene support with pressure pad on the forearm helps a bit, plus deep massage (you can do yourself once physio shows you).
Avoid conservatory roof cleans.

I remember when I was a young lad in my late teens I was told it was just growing pains. Still did not help much when I was driving along and the pain started suddenly in my left elbow that was so bad I lost the use of my arm so I could not change gear. The pain disappeared as suddenly as it started after a while which was really wired.

[SB Cleaning]

I had it for 6 months....I just put up with it and it went away.

[lee_dewing]

Not had that yet.

But as mc said acupuncture.

Remember alot of guys on here having tennis elbow and acupuncture being the most popular cure.

Gonna start doing Pilates me thinks.
Did some classes but was only guy there.

Got a book to work from so gonna do a few evenings of indoors.
Sure will help shoulders, knees, elbows.

[duncan h]

I could write pages on it, but I wont
Had it all done (other than acupuncture)opp is the only long term cure.
I was a plasterer. I couldn't even lift a kettle or wipe my bum...serious
Glucosamine Sulphate along with cod liver oils etc helped quite a bit after a few months of taking them.
You MUST warm up before work. Look on you tube

Mine lasted 12 months. I was told it would and funnily enough it lasted exactly that. Had physio but that did nothing at all to omprove it.

I was told it's like a pregnancy it'll be about 9 months and what a complete lot of rubbish that was,I saw different massage therapists week in week out and most of them don't have a clue how to treat it. If you know what your doing it is simple to provide yourself with relief and cure it with different techniques no massage idiot therapist required,after stretching the best way to get rid of it within days is press pull release techniques look it up you'll be so glad you did I must have spent well over a grand for next to no relief so in the end researched myself.

[NWH]

I would also add that you should do these stretches regardless if it's not giving you any trouble keep everything lose and supple,at its most aggravated your inner forearm feels like it's taken viagra lol.

This is the support you need, recommended to me by chiropractor and works.

[NWH]

All they do is numb the pain they will not get rid of it you need to get into the tendons on the inside of the forearm and this will only be done by stretching and massage,it can be done yourself don't waste money on some fool that's done a day course in massage or says by holding a heat lamp or something similar to a vibrating dildo on it will cure it. Press pull release and deep massage using your thumbs on the inner part of your forearm will get rid of it trust me.

[Dave Willis]

My friend Maria rekons heart tablets got rid of her tennis elbow for good.

[robbo333]

I had sports massage for mine which did help quite a bit, but of course it only lasted a day or so. What helped me was new equipment: Extreme pole, Xtreme brushes, using 50m  of pole hose on my reel. Anything to make it lighter and easier. I've still got it, but nowhere near as bad.

There is only 1 long temp help for tens and golfers elbow. Thats the operation. supports are just aiding  the joint, like using crutches with a broken leg. The legs still brocken
Ibuprofen gets inflammation down. You need to take then all the time...not good really
supplements are good if they work enough.
Exercise  is a must, well stretching the tendons
Acupuncture? can harm. Its aimed more at nerve points (pain)rather than healing   
Injections. They work on some things for 6 moths to 1 year, but not tennis elbow 
Operation. Fantastic results. Key hole = quick return to work. Open surgery= takes ages. That's what I had. They did tennis and golfers at the same time
Lasts from 5 years to lifetime
Don't mess about with months or years of pain. Ask your GPfor referral

[NWH]

The vast majority of the time surgery is not needed and they won't just refer you for golfers-tennis elbow like they would a hernia etc,you will have to wait up to a year from seeing your GP and that's after he's refered you for physio.
