the doctor ask me to try PRP first, if cant be cure, the last step is surgery , but I wanna try other method first b4 taking this last step of surgery...
takuuttt~~~~

thank for bringing a gem to this post..
haha..



great for your info sharing. Can I know where is your workplace, can I go visit you ?

I'm in sarawak bro. Lol

Currently I just rest, and so lighter weights.

Cant fully recover. Just wear strap and continue. If pain, stop.

Yours sounds more serious. I put steroids 2 rounds already, maximum is 3, any more it becomes harmful to my tendons

duh

oHhhH nOoooOoO

seem like we have to carry this pain forever d if without go for surgery..

aiskzzz

For your case, yeah. What causes it? What sports do you play?

Try to get a theraband bar, it ain't cheap, but good to try.

Go exercise your forearms and extensors with it, using light weight first

I play badminton, use the wrong muscle, also with a heavy racket..

then gg d..
hahahahah

Hahaha, gotta stop bro, and focus on rehab. Try a different sport for now.

Until you're recovereddo you use a strap?

MRI and PRP injection also does not work. So not scam?

A bit bias no?

MRI is a scanner. What u want that to work?

And PRP is experimental medicine, so you even know what's PRP? And it's success rate?

PRP speeds up healing, not instantly make tendon heal.
Maybe TS can give it more time for the growth factors in the PRP to do its work. Most tendon injuries take up to 6 months to recover.
In the mean time, can use TCM acupuncture to help with treating trigger points, reducing muscle tension which put less stress on the extensor tendon and physio to help with active recovery, such as stretching, muscle strengthening to aid in the tendon remodeling phase, prevent scar tissue formation which cause chronic pain.

But if MRI already show tear (not sure the extend of the tear, partial or complete) maybe surgery is indicated?
Even after surgery, also need months to rest and down time from any sports.

btw, PRP is not FDA approved and many medical insurance don't cover. Most likely need to pay out of pocket.

I'm aware that PRP is experimental and not covered under insurance.

OP went to TCM too, didn't work. So how? Nothing works?

I have a feeling he is just not resting enough and doing his rehab.

Do not need to go sport orthopedic. Your problem is small issue. Just need to find correct approach. My partner regular tennis player also having same issue. After helping him, few days slowly recovered.

I kena this tennis elbow in around June - July 2022 like that, at that time I didnt know what is tennis elbow, I just tot my elbow muscle soreness and normal aching only.

So I just ignore it, and continue to play badminton until Dec 2022.

Until I realized that the soreness is still there, so i stop playing badminton from Jan 23 until now, and I went to few TCM , massage and dry needling to that elbow area from Jan 23 - Mar 23, but still the pain didnt reduce at all.

So I decide to have a MRI scan, and the specialist doctor suggest me to take PRP first, since the MRI shown it was just a small muscle torn.

After I have tried 3 PRP, from May 23 - Oct 23, the pain was just reduce from 100% to 95% only.

I got wear the elbow strap everyday.

Until now , the pain is still there, then I really out of idea what can I do already...
unless just go for surgery, but this will be my last last last option.

ooohh...
mind to share ur partner experience of curing it ?

Need to try whatever method I can to kill this tennis elbow..

try shockwave therapy?

Need to know which part. Pain? Numb? Better draw easier

Op have u tried visiting institute Sukan Negara (ISN) in Bkt Jalil?

They’re specialist in sports injuries too since they are taking care a lot of our national athletes
