golfers elbow

[roycar]

there are a lot of exercises etc that you could be doing!

"golfers elbow" and "tennis elbow" can be complicated conditions to treat at times especially when symptoms have been around for a year as you say. causative factors can be multifactorial and trying to deal with each of them here on a message board is difficult.

you say that the pain is causing you to have to stop work at times? i would recommend seeing an experienced physio who can assess you fully and deal with each issue. it'd be worth spendin a few bob to get to the root of the problem no? there are physio protocols for these conditions that have shown to be effective so give it a go.

OK thanks Roy and Vam, So ill start stretching and book in with physio. Like you said it must be hard to diagnose and provide treatment on a forum especially when its a complicated problem like mine seems to be.

thanks again,

I'm sorry to hear about your elbow pain. I'm a physical therapist who just wrote a book about shoulder and elbow pain that may have some answers for you. It's on Amazon and is called Fixing You: Shoulder & Elbow Pain. In my experience, shoulder function is integral to elbow function. With elbow pain, typically focus is placed on superficial muscles such as the extensor carpi radialis muscles (in the case of tennis elbow) or flexor carpi radialis (in the case of golfers’ elbow). I believe the problems lie elsewhere. I explain what I believe to be an overlooked connection between the shoulder and elbow joints and how to test for problems and correct them. I've had great success helping people with elbow pain based on these connections. I wish you the best and, after reading the book, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
