Why this thread:
Because i'm looking for suggestions to solve my problem, where to research what to do, basically anything you can say that's worthwhile, I will really really appreciate it!

A little about me:

I'm Diogo i'm a student from ISCTE university, i study computer engeneering and i'm suferring from a lot of pain that comes from my elbows, hands and shoulder.Because of that pain i found out i have hipermobility which is connected, i think, with the Ehlars Danlos Condition, I'm currently just focusing on getting better and passing the course.
More information about my medical case here: http://www.patientslikeme.com/patients/view/bokocrew. (all treatments i've made, all the necessary info the most organized i could do it)

Current goals:



  • Finding more solutions to my conditions: (most likely first descending order)


  1. Osteopath
  2. eccentric exercise
  3. Try to see if arcoxia is really effective. (By taking one day not the other and comparing results, tried lyrica and noticed it helped in the pain)
  4. Occupational therapy
  5. Homeopathy
  6. Reiki my mother's suggestion
  7. try ibuprofen out... maybe
  8. ant-inflammatory diet
  9. Start again? heat or coldtreatments
  10. Different types of acupuncture
  11. Research eletrólise percutânea intratecidular (jose manuel sanchez)
  12. corticosteroid injections
  13. Progressive resistance exercises may confer modest intermediate-term results.
  14. iontophoresis,nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
  15. acetaminophen
  16. Topical Nitrate - Animal studies suggest that nitric oxide stimulates collagen synthesis by wound fibroblasts and, therefore, may play a role in healing extensor tendons.
  17. short-term oral NSAIDs
  18. inelastic,nonarticular, proximal forearm strap (tennis elbow brace) (figure this out)
  19. botulinum toxin type A injection (Botox);
  20. LAST OF ALL,surgery.

Others:
Tennis Elbow Treatments/Remedies: Ice, Rest, & More
Treatment of Lateral Epicondylitis - American Family Physician
"Extracorporeal shock wave therapy, laser treatment, and electromagnetic field therapy do not appear to be effective." really? -.-
