If you are having any sort of pain
in your arm at the elbow joint and it hurts just to try and pull a chair then
you may be suffering from tennis elbow. You need not to be a tennis player to
get this medical disorder and you should be sure to have it diagnosed by a
doctor to confirm what you already have guessed.
Doing so at the beginning of
symptoms is very important so that you don't cause further harm that would be
much tougher to recover from. If you think you may have tennis elbow then go to
the doctor immediately, I agree this is not fatal at any cost but in severe
conditions it may end up with losing an arm of you and definitely you don’t
afford to lose any part of your body.
Signs will gradually worsen over
time starting from a painful and tender elbow to the freezing of muscles in
your forearm. If untreated you may not be able to straighten your arm at all
without it being extremely painful to do so and what you used to be simple
tasks like turning on a light or making a pot of coffee can be torturous.
Treatments
It is often recommended that you
wear the band 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for about 6 weeks, removing
the band during showering and related personal care. The band helps reduce
inflammation causing the symptoms by changing the origin site of the ECRL and
ECRB tendons.
People struggling with tennis elbow
sometimes find anti-inflammatory medication helpful. Consult with your
orthopedic or healthcare provider before taking any medication. On occasion a
cortisone injection may be given to the inflamed area.
If any of this sounds as if it fits
how you're feeling then go to the doctor today. You don't want to put it off
until tomorrow because tomorrow it will be a day worse!
