Re: Tennis Elbow

I have had tennis elbow and golfer's elbow at various times on both my left and right elbow over the years. Tennis elbow is "lateral epicondylitis" and golfer's elbow is "medial epicondylitis". Tennis elbow inflames the elbow joint that is away from your body (outer) while golfer's elbow inflames the elbow joint that is near to your body (inner). When I had pain I went to an orthopedic clinic, where they examined my elbow and gave me a shot of cortisone right where the pain was. Within a few days I had relief from the pain, which did not come back for over a year. I have noticed that when I do a lot of practicing for concerts it aggravates my elbow joint. So now I do stretching exercises specifically for the elbow several times a day and take breaks and stretch during my practice sessions. Your best bet might be going to an orthopedic clinic for an assessment of your elbow pain.
