I have a very persistent case of tennis elbow -- probably from my work at a meat packing plant. I've tried a couple of steroid injections. They helped for about a week and then the pain started again. I've heard there's a new blood injection treatment I could try but that it is more painful than the steroid injections. What can you tell me about this? 7 weeks 6 days ago 39
I was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. It seems to have settled in my right elbow. The doctor wants me to start what she calls "aggressive" therapy taking new medications. The meds are called DMARD. I don't really want to take drugs. Isn't there a more natural way to deal with this problem? 8 weeks 5 days ago 71
I am a wrestling coach at a mid-sized high school (graduating class of 300 seniors). Every year it seems one or two of my players dislocates his elbow. The football coach says this is two too many and I must be doing something wrong in my coaching. It's light-hearted teasing but it does make me wonder. Is this typical? What are other wrestling coaches telling you? 8 weeks 5 days ago 87
I just watched a You Tube video of my brother who dislocated his elbow in a high school wrestling match. Gruesome! He's so strong, I can't figure out how this could have happened. If I download it to you, could you look at it and tell me what you think? 8 weeks 5 days ago 66
I just started a rehab program for golfer's elbow. The physical therapist told me: if it hurts, don't do it. If it hurts the next day, back off -- you overdid it. Does that make sense to you? What about the old saying, "no pain, no gain"? 12 weeks 5 days ago 108
