Hi guys... this sad topic again... I started developing TE like a year ago. I was medically diagnosed with it. Starting using Powerball and making eccentric exercises (similar to Flexbar, but with weights). I was recovering nicely, but started playing again like after 1 month and all came back... forced a little bit thinking it would stop, but nah. Even changed my technique... Nothing... Since January 2021 I have been resting... As I said, I changed my technique to a more elbow friendly one, changed the gear! New racket (Head Gravity Pro) with some soft strings (don't remeber but they are Technifibre), with low tension... continued with Powerballs and Eccentric wxercises like 3 times a week... Came back on April 2021.. I had no pain. Started playing was super cool. First day was felt good, only felt the pain like on 2 super strong forehands (the pain only appears on forehands). Then, after 3 days I played again... But now I was feeling like before... the pain started appearing and it felt like I was just restarting everything from the beginning... terrible pain playing... as the day after I was already feelling better... tried again after 2 days... PAIN!
So... I think I did everything I could... am I doomed to have this forever? I am only 23 years old, I still want to play a lot of tennis... But I am not sure if it will be possible!!! I have no other injury like such in my body... even played basketball for some years and I never had an elbow/knee/ankle injury like this one on tennis (I played tennis from like 9 to 15 years old and basketball from 17 to 21, so you don't think that I am a guy with no tennis technique xD).
Maybe I restarted playing too soon? Or should restart easier? Like play only once a week or something... What do you guys think?
ps: sorry for the long post
