Hi guys,
I've had a frustrating case of tennis elbow for about three months now. It seems to be improving, but very slowly. I dont have any pain now when the elbow is bent, only when I straighten the elbow, and stretch it. Looking for some advice from fellow sufferers and recoverees
1. I've been to my GP who has put me on a waiting list for a cortisone injection. My GP didnt think there would be any ill effects at all,but i'm a bit skeptical. Friends and family have cortisone injections with mixed results. Anyone had this injection? Dont really want to have anything to invasive if I can help it.
2. Im probably going to try out a physio. Do they really help or is it just money down the drain?
3. A friend also mentioned acupuncture for my tennis elbow. Anyone tried this? What are the results like?
Its killing me being off the court. Already had to give up my spot on my club team. Need to get back playing.
Cheers fellas
