There are certain groups of individuals who are considered
"high risk" when it comes to developing tennis elbow.
The first group is anyone involved with athletics such as
tennis players, golfers, cricket players, volleyball players, baseball players,
football players, bowlers, lacrosse players or any other sport that involves
using equipment that requires using a tight grip on an object.
The second group of people is anyone involved in manual
labor or blue collar work. These individuals tend to use their arms a lot
performing any repetitive task over an extended period of time. The constant
gripping and squeezing causes extreme pressure and strain on the extensor
tendon. It eventually tears and this is when you feel pain in your elbow.
So how do you properly and fully recover from tennis elbow?
Most people take a little time away from their sport or activity but their
symptoms usually come back just when they thought they had this injury under
control.
It does not even take that long. Sometimes, after just a few
months, the pain returns. This is the truth: if you do not seek the right kind
of treatment, the condition can seem rather irreversible. If you seriously want
to get some relief, you need to make a commitment to never give in to this
terrible injury.
Of course, many people resort to taking anti-inflammatory
pills and pain medication but the problem with this is that you have to take
the pills every 3-4 hours and they do nothing to address the root cause of your
injury.
What about elbow braces? To be honest, all these devices do
is give you a "feeling" of support but instead of making your injured
tendons and muscles stronger, they actually make them weaker!
There is no magic pill you can take to cure this injury.
Unfortunately far too many people choose to ignore their symptoms until it gets
so bad that a complete tear occurs and they have to undergo surgery.
It's important that you look for the following signs:
· Tightness and stiffness in your arm. You may discover that
your arm is hard to straighten fully - especially early in the morning.
· As the tear gets larger in your tendon, you may notice
some swelling and inflammation. It's important that you apply to ice if you
notice inflammation and swelling. Do this at least twice a day for 10-15
minutes.
· And thirdly, if your elbow pain gets worse when you make a
fist or even when you shake hands with someone, then you could be suffering
from chronic tennis elbow.
