I am having a tennis elbow issue for 1 year +, have been visiting TCM and did some dry needle, but still the pain is still there.

I went to scan for MRI, show that my muscle was torn, injected PRP X 3, also cannot recover.

any Sensei here got this issue or can recommend a good Doctor or any method to heal it ?

Thank you.

you live at where ?

if in JB, https://www.kpjhealth.com.my/johor/doctor/dr-bea-kia-chuang

You can go to your local GP clinic and ask them to write you a referral letter for the right specialist that you need.

Just explain to him to your chief complaint and history of presenting illness clearly and he should be able to help you with the referral.

my batch uni mate now sports physician at princecourt. very prolific nationwide.

ooh... I stay in Subang Jaya...

I did walk in to those specialist in Hospital, but still couldnt heal my problem...
so see whether got ant experience doctor to recommend or not ...hehehe


got contact ma ? mind to share ?

I got tennis elbow too.

I'm sorry that you got scammed by TCM.

What you need is surgery and physiotherapy, not TCM scam.

I recommend Dr dato Shahrulazua, and regen physio at PJ

Went mri and injected PRP, itu tulen bukan scam

Maybe TS shud go visit hand surgeon instead

The scam is the TCM, not mri

since your muscle is torn, you may need surgery. Did they say why they only gave you an injection?

avangelice - he’s an orthopaedic surgeon if I’m not mistaken

KLSMC. I heard some athletes go there for treatment. Many people come from overseas for treatment there as well.

Go princecourt website search. Speciality choose sports medicine.

Only got one.

Kuala Lumpur Sports Medicine Centre (KLSMC HOSPITAL)

Thank you hksgmy for highlighting this

Op. No you do not need surgery as per what others are saying as your tendinitis is brought on by trauma at the insertion point on the elbow and I got a suspicion that the tsm may have effected the healing process.

What you need now it not needling or ppr injection. What to need is to start focusing on the area I have drawn out for you. In my experience with tennis elbow, alot of patients fail to get better is because every Tom dick and Harry is focus on the tendon but I would suggest releasing this part I highlighted either via a physical therapist or via a extracorporal Shockwave therapy (eswt).

Someone highlighted klsmc and yes they are known to be knowledgeable in fixing this issue.

If you don't believe me, try massaging that part I highlighted by applying pressure on the area for a few mins and finished off with a stretching

TS no mentioned physiotherapist or deep tissue massage?

Can try that also probably the those people there will understand more on ur situation for your problem

I’m very impressed. That’s a very well explained answer and TS essentially got it for free.

Much appreciated bro!

what type of doctor are you again?

Not my first rodeo with a free consult here on lowyat. 😅😅

It’s ok bro. Some things are better left to the imagination. Singapore’s too small and I’d rather like to be able to enjoy my time here in relative obscurity
