Everything you want to know about Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow normally does not lead to serious health problems. When the
condition continues and is left untreated, it becomes necessary to seek
medical advice. If you ignore this condition, it may cause complete
loss of motion or function of the elbow. That is why it is advised to
contact a healthcare professional if you face numbness or weakness in
the hand and elbow. If you have been diagnosed with tennis elbow, you
must not ignore the condition and follow the treatment process
thoroughly.
Home remedies of tennis elbow include icing in the area for about quarter of an hour for reducing inflammation and relieving pain. You should also allow the affected area to rest so that pain subsides and future attacks are prevented. Make sure that you do not apply ice directly on the skin as that may give you ice burns and lead to further complications.
Steroid and corticosteroid injections are two effective options against the pain arising from tennis elbow. Even though steroid injections are considered a safer option, you cannot take them more than two to three times in a year since taking more than the recommended dosage may weaken the tendon and make it susceptible to rupture. But you can take corticosteroid injection to the inflamed area for improvement of the pain and discomfort. Before taking any of these injections, it is advised to consult an expert.
Even though surgery is the last resort in the treatment of tennis elbow, it can successfully treat the condition in most people. The surgeon would make a small incision over the elbow for trimming the tendon or release and reattach it to the bone. This is usually done as an outpatient process and takes about a few hours or so. You will have to consider surgery only if you had pain for a year despite trying other alternatives.
