Anybody deal with Tennis/Golfers Elbow?

I’ve had the same, but idk about tender to the touch. I guess it could just be very inflamed.

I used Aleve (Anti-inflammatory), KT tape, elbow sleeve, & most importantly - Theraband flex bar

I think it's tennis elbow is pain in the outside golfer elbow is pain on the inside. I had it when I got back into it serious last year. KT tape and just took a break for a couple weeks. Eased back into it. Mine didn't hurt enough to quit playing but was very annoying and achey. Also one of those massage guns helped.

Ice, ibuprofen, some type of sleeve.

Dry needling helps tremendously. I was ready to have surgery a couple years ago and an OT recommended this. Took a couple treatments from local pt but he got it back to normal. I’m back dealing with it again because I let it go to long but about 90% better after a couple treatments again.

So acupuncture

I've read the responses and for me, none of these responses worked. Theraband.....nope. Ice/ibuprofen....nope. Dry needling.....nope.

I even tried physical therapy for about 4 weeks (which included the dry needling) and nothing worked. The only thing that worked (for me) was a PRP injection. It took about 4-5 weeks to actually kick in, but I do not have any pain anymore. It just went away. I'm about 9 months into it and still cannot tell that I was dealing with any pain. I unfortunately had both tennis elbow and golfers elbow at the same time.

Good luck to you, it's frustrating.

I dealt with this.. the biggest improvement for me was switching my grips. I switched to Jumbo Max in my size and it changed everything. I was gripping too tightly with standard grips which caused all my fore arm muscles to stay flexed instead of relaxed, this put more strain on the connective tissue. Especially with ground impact.. Fat shots felt like my arm was about to be ripped off.

Another vote for theraband flex bar here.

All good recs above.

I had tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) of right elbow for 2 years. Couldn’t shake hands or even write with a pen. Tried therapy, steroid injection, fresh frozen plasma, rest, ice, etc. Ended up having surgery after 2 years.

Then got it with Left elbow (from playing guitar, of all things). My tennis pro friend recommended the Fiix Elbow device. It worked. I’ve had other friends use it, with good results. You can look it up. Costs $400, but worth trying before surgery.
