I just wondered if anyone has any top tips for curing this? I have in the past had chinese medicine/acupuncture/ physio/ cortisone injections. Cortisone injections are successful in the short-term but it keeps coming back. I have read that the more injections you have the less effective they are :(

PGC, as with all musclo skeletal issues, it is invariably a matter of trial and error as to whether rest is better. Many people with tendonitis find it seizes up badly if they rest it. It is all vey unfair. There is an operation which can be very successful - a relative had it for both the elbow and shoulder I seem to think - and was pain free from about a week post op. I think the key was cutting tendons and it sounded quite nasty but worked v well. It can be agony absolute agony and the term tennis elbow really doesn't reflect how bad it can get so I do feel for sufferers.

I was referred for tennis elbow to the GP practice on Melbourne Grove, almost next to the pizza place & Scoop. There is a GP there that uses a form of Acupuncture - essentially "loosening" the knots in muscle groups that cause the tennis elbow. It worked for me.


Apols cannot remember GP name or practice name - but no doubt someone on EDF can.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
