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.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
