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.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
