I have tennis elbow in my left elbow (good thing I am right handed). Sometimes I can't even lift a cup of coffee to my mouth with it. The doc wanted to shoot it up with cortizone, only proplem is I am allergic to cortizone. So it's heat wraps when it really bothers me or "Ice Blue" when it is only mildly annoying.

My left knee is fucked after my bike crash last year. My right clavicle is permanently dislocated due to it too.

Still, new camera, can't complain.

Slam it against a post (the clavicle not the camera).

What, exactly, is wrong with the elbow? And howd you screw it up?

[Guinevere]

Please consider trying acupuncture. I have chronic pain in my right shoulder, probably rotator cuff, from swimming and the general left/right imbalance I have. Three weeks of treatment (once a week) and the pain was 100% gone for three or four years. I've started having tweaks again in the last year, but mostly because of too much computer time (I think) and not enough swimming or yoga the past year or so.

I'd try a professional massage. I had a painful shoulder blade for years and then had a good massage at "Well Within" in Santa Cruz they they just fixed it. More than 12 years later and no problem.

Did you get the "happy ending"?

Hey, who cares, once your shoulder and arm are back in working condition you can have as many happy endings as you want!

The tendon between the elbow joint on the back of the arm and the "other bone" near the top of the elbow screams with pain if I bend the arm/hand a certain way. I can work through it by constantly doing the motion that produces the pain while rubbing that tendon. But if I don't move my arm for a period of time, then it gets "locked up" and the pain returns. Morning coffee is particularly painful to the point I sometimes have to use my right arm/hand to have the coffee.

Don't know how I screwed it up. It's my left arm and I played softball a catcher for both slow and fast pitch for over 25 years so I would have thought my right elbow would be screwed up (the pitchers are pampered, yet the catcher throws more than any pitcher).

I did dislocate my left shoulder playing football, but I don't think that's related. But I'm no doctor.

Guin
I may try accupuncture as I said before, I am alergic to cortizone which is the firsst shot treament for these things. Thanks for the suggestion.

O-n-W: "Doctor, doctor, my elbow screams with pain if I bend my arm or hand in a certain way."

Doctor: "Well don't do it then."

Now why didn't I think of that?!?!??!
would smack himself in the head but left elbow pain prevents arm/hand from getting to his forehead
