I get it through playing golf.
Do not go down the injections route as it's only a temporary fix.
I tried physio which sort of helped but I ended up having a minor op which sorted it. I was told there was only a 2/3 chance of the op working but in my case it did.

Originally posted by Weltchy View PostThe tendons and muscles on my forearm near to the elbow are sore to touch when pressed, and its been like this for nearly 2 months now. However, I've not given it much rest, playing squash twice a week and badminton once a week.
The longest break I had was for about two weeks, at which point it felt good, but weak, and stupidly I decided to play Badminton, which put me back to square one.
So take a break and get it seen to.
I've had my pain for a week and have already got physio lined up through my GP.

I got my tennis elbow from playing the Mario Olympics on my daughter's Wii. I heard from a few people that you can get injections into your elbow that bring the swelling down but I didn't bother. Rested it for a couple of months and it seemed to put itself right.
At its worse, making a fist or casting a fly rod was really painful

How long have you had to rest it to get back close to 100%?

FWIW I rested mine for 1.5 months before it got better. Daily stretching definitely helped in that time.

The elbow supports are good if you need to continue playing and you can play through the pain, however, resting the elbow is the only way to cure it.

You want codeine for reducing the pain, and ibuprofen for reducing the swelling.
Comes in a handy tablet called Nurofen Plus.
