I have my date for my surgery to get my tennis elbow fixed. It's next Thursday and I am looking forward to it. So freakin' tired of the constant aching. I have about had it all the way up to my baby blues.

hope it goes well :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed:

Good for you, Frank! :dewleaf:
Constant Pain Sucks! :(

When you get to the point that the aching wakes you up during the night and you're taking Tylenol like candy, you want something done. And now I finally am getting what I want.

Good luck bro, I'll keep 'em crossed for you too. :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed:

I'm so glad to hear that you will be having your surgery next Thursday. Hopefully everything goes well with your surgery. I'm sure that it's going to be wonderful being able to finally be pain-free once again. :hugs:

Someone please explain Tennis "ELBOW"....

I can see where one might get Tennis SHOULDER - or Tennis WRIST - possibly even Tennis FOREARM....but not ELBOW

hope all goes well sweetie :hugs:

I've had tennis elbow. It's some tendon thing in the elbow.


btw I got it from blowdrying that stupid Rachel cut in the 90's :wissa:

In my case, mine probably came from all the moving around on the flight line that I do in the course of doing my thing with the engines. Between twisting around lifting engine cowling, carrying tool boxes and test equipment, and climbing up and down crew ladders, I am surprised that something didn't "go wrong" before now.

Glad you are getting the surgery!

I have it too.. sometimes it hurts so bad.. I cant even hold up a pair of shoes!

i guess they call it that because you do
move the elbow a bit when playing tennis
it's also called "hooter's elbow" and "archer's elbow"

You should have seen what happened at church last Sunday. Before services, there is usually coffee and dounuts. Without thinking, I grab the coffee pot with my right hand and start to lift it to my cup. The pain was that great that I almost dropped the entire pot down onto the counter. Filled my cup with my left hand, then like the dummy that I am, I reached for the cup with my right hand again. Pretty much the same result.

been there done that!! it sucks balls!

Dropped a dinner plate full of food once... :crying:

violet have you been to the doctor? when I had mine the doctor gave me a pamplet with some exercises to do with surgical tubing. I literally did them once and it was gone.

lol

He has a disease from the board, Archers elbow...

I'm surprised I don't have that :lol:

:whistle:
