If you’ve found this web page, you’re here because you’re in pain with a sore elbow from a tennis elbow injury. I know that pain well, keep reading for how I fixed it.

Hi, it’s Hank, and this is my story of curing my tennis elbow injury for good, ending the past few years of agony.

Tennis elbow (some call it golfer’s elbow, but I don’t really play either one!) hit me like a ton of bricks in late 2007. I’ve worked with my hands all my life without a problem, but one Sunday afternoon putting a ten-speed bike together for my grandson did it. Maybe it was a long time coming. It started gradually as a numb pain, but as time went on it became unbearable to even turn a door knob. One morning I couldn’t even pick up my coffee mug and it was at this point I knew I had to do something about it.

I started off trying to help myself with balms and creams I found on the internet, but they were a waste of money. They were really expensive but didn’t even help as much as a tube of Icy Hot. I got a brace at the drugstore and have had moderate success with it, but when I’m not wearing it, the pain returns. I tried exercises recommended by my physician which didn’t do much good, and it was starting to look like surgery was my only option.

Eventually I stumbled upon “Tennis Elbow Secrets Revealed“. I was pretty skeptical at first about the claims for a successful tennis elbow cure within one month, but with the money back guarantee I thought what the heck. I couldn’t believe it, but within one week of the program I was feeling almost as good as new, and by the end of a month I was in tip top shape again. No surgery for me! It didn’t work as fast as the site claimed, but it was by far the best answer to a problem that was driving me mad. My tennis elbow injury is now cured and I can enjoy life again! I hope you found this info useful and I’m glad I could share it with you.

Tennis Elbow Injury Braces Don’t Work!

Right along with drugs and ordered rest, tennis elbow injury splints and braces are often prescribed by doctors for treatment for a tennis elbow injury. Unfortunately, these braces don’t exactly do all that much.

Here are two good reasons that a brace can’t heal your tennis elbow injury

Reason Number One: Keeping your arm immobilized may prevent more damage, but it won’t prevent more negative change in the structure of your arm.

The best it can do is to reduce irritation to your injury by reducing the amount of movement and work it is able to do. With this, a brace ‘helps’ in the short term because it limits any new irritations to the collection of muscles and tissue in the elbow. The thing is, if you don’t move and exercise your limb, it will begin to atrophy.

Also, there’s a by-product of a Tennis Elbow Injury, and it’s a Pain Causing Dynamic. Pain, stiffness, and tightness of the muscles is all part and parcel of a tennis elbow injury. As these symptoms continue, it can get even worse. Splints and Braces don’t reverse any damage, only they hold it in place. As soon as you take that brace off, the pain will return.

Reason Number Two: Tennis Elbow Braces Don’t Have Any effect on Inflammation

A lot of the pain you feel from a tennis elbow injury is from inflammation. Inflammation is the process of fluid getting tapped and releasing pain causing chemicals. If you let it continue, it will go on hurting. Braces and splints don’t do much to fight the inflammation, so while it may be pain free because you’re not moving it, the inflammation still exists.

So why would a doctor prescribe a brace for a Tennis Elbow Injury? Good question! It’s a temporary measure to keep you from feeling pain, but it will never actually heal your tennis elbow injury. I can only hope one day I’ll find a real solution!

Does an Elbow Brace Help a Tennis Elbow Injury? is a post from: Tennis Elbow Injury

To start, warm up by doing wrist exercises. Sitting down, put your forearm on your thigh, palm up, with your hand in a very light fist. Make slow circles with your hand, and repeat around 20 times for each wrist.

Stretching exercises include extending one arm with your palm out and pushing back on your palm with your other hand until you feel a mild stretch on your forearm. Hold the position for 20 seconds or so and do this 3 or 4 times.

Strengthening exercises can include squeezing a tennis ball for 6-8 seconds at a time, then relax for 10 seconds, or doing bicep curls.

Other things you can do to prevent tennis elbow would be to:

• Stay in good overall physical condition
• Use the correct techniques and movements during activities.
• Use equipment appropriate for your ability, body size, and body strength.
• Not overuse your arm with repeated movements that can injure your tendon. For example, alternate hands during activities, if possible.
• Strengthening the muscles of your arm, shoulder, and upper back to help take stress off of your elbow.

If there’s something you’re doing at work that you think is causing your elbow to hurt, talk to your HR department right away and let them know, and ask if they can assist in working with your management team to make changes so it doesn’t get worse.

If you think you’re getting pain from playing sports, look into taking classes to see if you’re not moving properly or using the right equipment for you.

By following this advice, hopefully you’ll never have to deal with a full blown tennis elbow injury.

Prevention of a Tennis Elbow Injury is a post from: Tennis Elbow Injury

A tennis elbow injury is usually the result of an injury to the muscle and tendon area surround the outside of the elbow. The area where the tendons and muscles of the forearm and the bone meet is where you’re going to be experiencing the pain of.

It’s usually a problem for people in their right arm if they’re right-handed, but it does sometimes happen in the non-dominant arm as well.

What are tennis elbow symptoms?

You’ll feel pain around the outside of the elbow. Sometimes it comes on all of a sudden, but usually it slowly gets worse. It hurts to squeeze objects and to shake hands with somebody. The pain is really bad when trying to lift something, opening a jam jar, or sometimes just holding a glass.

Who gets tenis elbow?

Plenty of people experience tennis elbow, but it’s usually men more than women, and you’ll usually first get it between 30 and 50 years old, but pretty much anyone can get it. If you do any kind of repetitive movement with your arms, elbow, or wrist, there’s a much higher chance of getting it. A friend of mine used to work for a printer loading huge sheets of paper on and off these printing presses and that’s how he got it. Just like people who type all day are at risk for carpal tunnel and get bad hand pain, people who clean houses for a living are likely to get it from all the scrubbing and vacuuming.

When I got it I though I had a pinched nerve or something, and it would go away. Months later it was too hard to ignore and I went to see the doctor who confirmed it was an tennis elbow injury.
