Pain in the elbow

Well, tennis elbow to be precise!

Around Christmas time I developed a pain in my right elbow. At the time I thought I had just pulled a muscle, and figured it would sort itself out. Anyway, come February, when it still hurt, I decided a trip to the doctors was in order, and sure enough tennis elbow was diagnosed.


Now I don't play tennis - never have, and I hadn't taken up any new sport or activity, nothing had changed either at home or work that I could think of that would cause the inflammation, but the doc said take Ibuprofen tablets, or try the Ibuprofen gels, that should help.


Well it did help, made the pain go away, while I was taking them. But as soon as I stopped taking them, pain came back. So, I finally got round to going back to the doctors today. He agreed, should have sorted itself out by now. So now have stronger drugs. plus another drug to stop my stomach being upset, as the stronger drug can cause upset stomachs.


All I can say, is I hope that it works, as I am fed up with the pain in the elbow!!
