Tennis Elbow

[Deck]

Any ideas for how to help this besides that weird ass brace. wont wear it. I got it golfing and not jerking off. im a righty not a lefty.

doc gave me some pills but they dont work. pain pills dont do shit for me. Also reccomended surgery in june. not missing golf for it. postponed till November.

says its some kind of nerve damage as well.

so what can i do till i get surgery later on?

[Iamlegend]

you are aware by letting it go you could probably make it worse. What would you rather, miss 1 season of golf? or this be your last season because the pain is so severe

im a risk taker.

the fact that you made a point of saying you didnt get it from jerking off is a give away

nice try

it needs rest and basic rehab principles (RICE).

If you broke your arm and needed a cast, you wouldn't wait until November to do so. Your doctor has told you *** NERVE DAMAGE *** is possible. Be mature about it and deal with it now, get the surgery done and heal 100% so you can play late in the season.

nerve damage is already done. get numbness is my ring and pinky fingers. was hoping not to miss.

damn yard work ****ed me.

Deck every horse breaks down eventually just be happy they aren't putting you out to pasture

lmao feels that way. sucks being in ny and only having a certain amount of time to play. i will be out for 8 weeks. wouldnt be able to play till late august.

Just had the Nerve relocation surgery 7 weeks ago.

It starts with numbness and pain in the pinky and ring finger. If you start to get muscle atrophy in your hand you need surgery ASAP. The next thing to happen after that is the CLAW. And there is no cure once your fingers curl.

Best thing I ever did Deck. I have no pain and have got all the feeling back in my hand.

Had one so bad a few years back could not open a doorknob with my right hand ..Had to lay the clubs down in August and for east golfers that sucks.. My friend gets one every year and takes a shot of cortisone.. Gets him thru the summer every year.. GL

I was in a cast for 8 days. You cant do any lifting of anykind for two weeks after getting the cast off. Now I can pretty much do everything. Its just the shock of hitting the ground and chance of hyper extending the elbow could permently damage the muscle where he put the nerve.

Just started physical therapy last week.

He told me to not touch a golf club for 4 months.

Go get a nerve test. It will tell you right away if you need surgery. My nerve was dead past my elbow.

Dexamethasone worked wonders on me. Tendonitis brought on my heavy straight bar curling. I could barely move my wrist at all for weeks, especially a turning motion. 2 weeks on the roids and there is no pain at all.
