re: Pain in the elbow and tricep area

I had tennis elbow in both arms after remodeling my kitchen three years ago. Went to my orthopedist and got cortisone shots in both arms. Shots hurt like hell for about a day, but after that you start to get real relief from the pain. Long term you will need to follow other suggestions from this board regarding heat and cold as well as deep tissue massage. Should you choose to consult and orthopedist, he may also prescribe physical therapy.
