Tennis Elbow - Please advise

[Yarok]

Hi
Sorry for your discomfort, I think is more assiociated with a neck/shoulder girdle even thoracic spine.
Have you had any assessments on it?

How is you neck, shoulder? mean any stifness, strenge sensations, tander points etc etc

take care

Thank you very much for the reply. I have no neck / shoulder problems are far as i am aware. I have not had any assessments on my neck / shoulder as i have no discomfort in these areas.

Just as an update i had an MRI scan a couple of days ago and awaiting my results on Jan 5th 2009. I hope this may pickup my problem...

My left arm constantly feels bruised and a throbbing sensation. I will update when i have my MRI results but any other advise would be great

Thanks,

Happy christmas

Sorry to hear this story.
I have seen many people with epicondylitis ( and have even treated them a lot myself). More often than not, the reason for them having required the pain in the first place, is NOT a problem in the elbow region itself!!!!! . It could very well be related to the schoulder, the cervical or thoracic spine, it could even be related to the organs (the large intenstine meridiaan runs in this area).
If I were you I would try to find someone who knows a lot about sports and is not only musculoskeletally and neurologically interested, but who knows a bit more about meridiaans.

I have seen many cases of epicondylitis not resolving when treated locally, but resolving the moment the therapist finds the " real reason" behind the problem in the first place. This could be problems in the shoulder joint, cervical or thoracic areas or even energy dysbalanse problems.
Hope this helps you a bit

hi friend
i totally agree with esther.an assessment from a movement impairment point of view is needed.
even the sling pattern of muscles need to be checked
i am interested esther,to know about the intestinal meredian.are you discussing from acupuncture point of view?please elaborate regarding it as i am genuinely keen to hear it
