i'm a doctor and i got tennis elbow from tennis playing.

medicine, physiotherapy, ointment etc didn't work on me.

i inject steroid on myself.

of course i'm scared of needles, that's why i use the insulin needle,

which is the smallest needle possible. ( only 1/3 the size of those shown here) the injection is relatively painless ( at least i can tolerate)

and it worked for me.

but make sure to improve your tennis technique or the pain may come back.

Poohead0990 No, the doctor said they are not safe and unless it is really bad (which it was) she would not give me the jab...instead she put me on more pills "Diclofenac" it does make it feel better but I wish there were a more natural remedy. I hope it lasts for you :-)

@Mazzyjo did you get the injection? I just got mine 2 weeks ago i feel great now!! Maybe only for a short time but definately some relief

@HAPPYSAURUS the name of the surgery is tennis elbow realease

[HAPPYSAURUS]

@Raulmalaver what was the surgery called? i've had it for 2 years also, i wanted to skip the injections. because it seems like a temporary fix, i'd just like to get the surgery and have it all taken care of, i heard of a couple different procedures but this one sounds easy enough.

OMG!.... that looks painful, I am booked in to get the shot on Tuesday but after seeing that and reading the comments, I don't know if I should have the jab now

I will tell you I had tennis elbow for 2 years and I have been playing tennis for over 32 years, I tried just about everything until I came across a Doctor who performed a surgery if you could call it that way, he made an incision about one inch and enter the scuffle and asked me to move my elbow in an specific direction to crack the cartilage, 6 weeks after recovering it is like I never had anything in my life, I would suggest looking into it

i got this injection and the pain came right back in3 weeks and the shot hurt

I had an injection for Tennis Elbow. It didn't cure it....

Damn.. Both arms for me and needles are at the bottom of the list - no not even on the list of least-desirable things.. I'd rather immoblize my arms for 6 months and allow them to heal than go through this with only 'temporay' effect. Ouch! Ouch too as I type this though! Pot apparently helps enormously.
