Tennis elbow help please?

Question

ive had an elbow problem for a long time. 4 months. first i went to a doctor that specializes in that kind of stuff and she said tennis elbow first, then she said ligaments are loose, then im missing a sheet of tissue. i went to a chiropractor and he said different. i went to a super expensive sport massage therapist, and he said different. i can't pin point the pain for some reason(told them that) i think its bursitis. what should i do? ice or heat? i want a cortisone shot but afraid, i heard it hurts alot more then a normal tetanus shot.

Answer 1

Most like you have Tennis Elbow... things can be found on webpages with things to do to stop the pain. But don't stop going to the docter there is an off-chance you don't have tennis elbow

Answer 2

You could try getting a second opinion from an orthopedic surgeon; find one that specializes in that part of the body rather than one who operates on the whole body.

Based upon what you've just said, it's a little bit difficult for me to determine what is actually wrong with you, "tennis elbow" (more appropriately called Lateral Epicondylitis) is quite common though and chances are, you indeed could have it.
