Elbow Pain????

It's HELL being over forty isn't it?

Had the same problem a few years ago. Doc said is was tennis elbow. But I never played tennis? He gave me a shot or cortizone in the elbow and I haven't had any problem since. Good luck!

There is another shot option other than cortizone. It is a compound called Synvisc. It's a fairly expensive three shot process that my ortho guy recommended for my knee. He says this is a possible solution for instances where the damage is not enough for surgery. A friend of mine had it done to his knee 8 yrs. ago and he syas it is still ok!My arms from the elbow down and hands hurt and go numb when in one posistion too long. I suspect it to be a combination of carpel tunnel and good old artheritis. I suspect that Deep is not really up to dealing with Docs and surgery I know I'm not.I take MSM (methysulonylmethane) 6000 to 8000 mgs. a day for the artheritis and it keeps me lubed up and moving however it does zero for pain. I take standard over the counter stuff for pain or celebrex only in severe cases! Naproin and IB are not good for your blood pressure. The MSM is available online from Swanson health products www.swansonvitamins.com. It makes a big diff for me. If it can't be mitigated with sex or fishing then it is really serious! Also Deep try cutting back on the computer that can agrivate the condition.
Hope you feel better.

I was thinking joint or maybe tendon but now I'm starting to wonder... Nerve or nerve path? Now my shoulder and even neck are starting to light up. Might be that I'm doing stuff differently with the elbow and thats translating to generalized soreness in neck and shoulder... Mako season is here... I'll just have to work through this what ever it is...

Deep, that's exactly what i thought you would say. I'd say the same thing. If your as old or older than me chances are you got some of everthing working to cause the discomfort. I know i do. Everyone has their own pain threshold and response to meds. The MSM really works for me every injury is usually complemented with arthritis later on in life. when are you coming north?

[Deep C]

I'm mildly arthritic on my hands and fear that may be spreading to the neck... I should have iit in my ankles from all the years of pounding in the skiff but they just creak and crack with no pain yet... The nexk has had several hard shots over the years including a compression fracture in my late teens... I roll out of here day after tomorrow and should make Hinches mid day thursday to set up for class...

The Synvisc stuff didn't do a thing for my knee. It's made from the cone of a rooster. I do wake up a lot earlier now and feel like crowing to get everyone else up at sunrise.

Maybe i should put off those shots! I have already been told I'm a big ****!LOL!
