Tennis Elbow help !!

Post by graeme »

If its not one thing its another,my latest battle in life is Tennis Elbow due to my manual job :icon8:

Another condition that along with my chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome seems hit and miss with the medical world the only good thing is in most cases it is self limiting upto 1 - 2 years . However in the mean time one has a job to keep and after the pain killers and injections etc etc limited relief I'm struggling. Surgery could be an option but the recovery is very slow ,anybody had this and can offer any tips ???

thanks Graeme :hand:
Age:33 | Onset Age:19 | Symptoms:burning urethra, deep sore stinging around the perineum, dribbling | Helped By:when flare starts deep relaxing over a toilet to let out dribbling urine, hot bath, rubbing a heat cream on the perineum, Tens with a pad on the perineum, running, medication (solpadol) for pain. Current treatment: PT. | Worsened By:sitting, stressing over it, ejaculation, sometimes alcohol but I risk it. Been feeling a lot better last 6 months about 85% with a few flares lasting about 5 days. No longer having PT. Stretching every other night and I believe time is also a big factor for me

If you've had cortisone injections, and rested the joint (very important), and none of this has helped, then you may have trigger points in your forearm. Clair Davies discusses how to treat it in his book.
Good News! The great ProstaQ is BACK at last! You must try it.

I have it as well and I use a Velcro strap on my forearm to compress the muscle when I work out or drum...works fantastic...

I encourage anxiety prone UCPPS people to consider L-Theanine
Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.

Have one on order carl thanks . How long you had tennis elbow as to rest it for me is not easy even holding a cup can bring on pain. My doc says its self limiting but can take over a year .
