My husband has been suffering from tennis elbow now for five months..



He cannot workout anymore because the pain in his left elbow..



If he bumps it against a door frame the pain is excruciating..



He went to our doctor who suggested some exercises, but they are not working..



Does anyone know of anything that may help?

RW

Yes, I do.  There are tennis elbow straps that are available that may offer some relief.  This is what they look like:

You should be able to find them at your local drug store for under $30.

Ouch, been there, all I could do is let it rest up over a year or so. I put a tens unit on it that helped a little.

My doctors said exercise it also, but that made it worse.

An armband helps a lot if you are working.

I used one of those bands RW posted about, it helped a lot, but isn't a cure.

I was working on an assembly line constantly abusing my elbow so likely most peoples will heal faster if took care of.

So, the best cure is rest from your experience Blue?

Resting it helped me, but working it was hard to do. I'm not sure, but if someone properly stretched the muscle, and tendon it might help more.

The exercises I did didn't help, but passably if a specialist would have helped it might have.

My rest was constantly interrupted.

I will be calling our doctor to book another appointment for my husband..



While he waits, I will go to Shopper's tonight to buy Arm Band.

The arm band helps stabilize it, any relief is good. I used an ace bandage also, but I needed something extra while working.

I appreciate all suggestions..



It is difficult watching him not be able to do the things he loves to do and especially the pain he feels.

I think tennis elbow is a repetitive motion injury isn't it? - so it could be anything.
