All kidding aside. Elbow pain is NO joke. I've been dealing with this for over a year. Therapy and cortisone injections have helped my right Lateral and Medial epicondylitis and my left Lateral but unfortunately the medial pain has gotten worse. Mri revealed that because of the chronic tendinitis, I now have a torn common flexor tendon. Today I experienced one of the worse pain I've ever had. I decided to try a PRP to see if it prevents having to have surgery. The studies on it are pretty promising so let's hope it works. You can watch the whole video on Youtube

I, too, sincerely hope this PRP helps.
No one deserves that kind of long-term misery, especially not someone who seems to make so many other people happy.

MsAliI hope the PRP helps. I didn’t know what it was so I looked it up. It looks like there are some promising results. It sounds like you must have a good physician. I hope you find a way to manage your pain. Sincerely, Brent.

I hope you find a way to manage your pain. Sincerely, Brent. The results are the only reason I did this. Working for orthopedics, I'm not a fan of the surgery for this as it doesn't have good outcomes. That's not to say people don't have success, but this has comparable and in some studies better success. Time will tell

Sorry about the trouble. Seems like the older we get we accumulate more health issues.

Are you talking about playing hockey...or finishing off a cake?? Fingers and toes still crossed for you...but not arms...that would involve elbow use...and that would be like rubbing it in! LOL
