Any outside the box treatments for Tennis elbow?

I’ve had tendinitis now for 2 months. I’ve done all the stretches, iced it, worn the braces and straps, done the common weight lifts to help, etc…. I went to the doctor and he confirmed it’s lateral epicondylitis or “tennis elbow” (I don’t play tennis). He recommended against a cortisone injection because it’s a small area and he doesn’t think it’s that effective for this.
I can’t get it to go away, anyone got any sure fire therapies to get rid of it outside of the standard stuff I’ve already mentioned?

I have battled tennis elbow twice. First time did the braces and it took forever to go away. Second round I said screw and did the injection. Have never looked back. Did you go to a primary or a specialist?

I just got over this, took 4 months. I took anti-inflammatories twice a week, stopped doing things that hurt the elbow, used a strap over the area (actually on the upper forearm, a strap that pressed on the ligaments) and time. It took FOREVER to go away

Acupuncture is the answer.

Yes...BPC-157 & TB-500 will knock this out.

I had if for damn near a year before it finally subsided. Do not do any activity that aggravates at all period! Do the stretching multiple times daily, ice it 2-3 x daily and ibuprofen every 8 hours. Good luck

Keep doing the exercises. Tennis elbow takes several months of consistent exercising to get it to go away.

Try dry needling by a physical therapist.
Make sure you are wearing braces correctly, about 2-3 finger widths below actual elbow, avoid any forceful gripping motions, stretch your forearm extensors

Doctor gave me the Tyler Twist, used it for two weeks haven't had a problem since, that was 15 years ago.

Im just getting over it. I did every exercise, lotion, potion, rehab, stim, cortisone shot, etc, etc. The ONLY thing that works is rest, period. IMO.

I had to get surgery years ago because of this. The injections would only work to stop the pain temporarily and finally after a year of treatment, we said frick it and got the operation. My elbow wasn't at full normal strength again for 11 months.

That twist stick maneuver really works..Just look at videos and do it consistently and correctly.
