Case Study: Robson Carrick, Age 34

I started to suffer tennis elbow symptoms early last September. I would feel a burning sensation in my elbow that reaches all the way up to my shoulder some nights. At first I thought it was just a strain of some sort, you know the normal niggles you get when playing any sport? I continued to play golf, squash and tennis on and off like I would usually do until one night after a round of golf I could barely straighten my arm.
After much persuasion by my wife I decided to take painkillers and rest my arm. It wasn’t until the following week that I realized I had tennis elbow symptoms. In hindsight I’m glad I stopped playing when I did as continuing would have probably finished off my elbow for good and as a result all of the regular sporting activities that I enjoy.

The tennis elbow symptoms are listed below. (Obviously they vary from person to person but it is likely you will suffer at least one of the following!)

  • Stiffness around the elbow joint.
  • A noticeable weak grip.
  • Difficulty turning things like door handles.
  • Soreness around elbow area.
  • Soreness and tension in upper arm.
  • Loss of pivoting movement when playing sports.

After speaking to people at my local racquet club I realized I was not the only one who had suffered from tennis elbow symptoms and that it was quite common. My friend Alan told me the likely cause was the difference in weight of a tennis racquet and a squash racquet causing a sudden difference in tension and strain around the arm muscles. He could be right; I’d imagine this would cause quite a lot of pressure on the arm after a long period of time!

I booked an appointment with a physiotherapist who understood my frustration of being out of action for months and promptly booked me into a physiotherapy schedule which I attended every 2 days. The first step to combat my tennis elbow symptoms was ultrasound followed my massages, which nearly sent me through the roof! Although immensely painful after a few days my tennis elbow symptoms started to slowly ease. I was initially grateful and excited but also determined not to start playing too early and bring back the pain.

This brief pain free period unfortunately did not last long, one morning I woke up with the pain again, not as intense but still painful enough not to be able to play any sort of sport involving my arm. I was feeling pretty down by this point, I couldn’t really face wasting another 2 months going to and from the hospital only to have more painful massages on my elbow. I even researched what injections are available but with the risks involved decided I should just accept my tennis, gold and squash days are over.

Click Here To Copy The Guide I Used To Beat My Tennis Elbow!

After about 5 months I read an email from my old tennis/squash partner with a link. The email read something along the lines of “Hi Robson, a few of my students and guys at the tennis club have been talking about this online guide for people with tennis elbow symptoms. Might be worth a try?”. Without hesitation I clicked the link and read through the website.

I must admit it didn’t look too convincing and I was a little dubious but at this point I thought what the heck! I really wanted to be active again and had nothing to lose. I paid and downloaded the guide and had a flick through it. The content was laid out really clear and simple. I hadn’t come across any of the suggested actions online or even from my physiotherapist. I was surprised to see that it was essentially made from previous tennis elbow sufferers and outlined exactly what they did to get back on the courts. Written from this perspective, I found it quite interesting compared to the hundreds of medical websites I had got used to reading.

Anyway to cut a long story short I started to follow the guide and gradually reduced the pain and slowly got the movement back in my elbow to the point where I could play tennis again. I started playing squash for 15mins at a time at first than gradually built up until I was spending afternoons playing tennis just like I used to before.

Don’t get me wrong I still have niggles here and there and sometimes I feel slight tension in my arm but I can’t complain. Compared to the position I was in before this is ten times better! I have heard some people get no results from the guide but these cases are few and far between and to be honest I think the effectiveness of the guide comes down to how closely you follow it.

Anyway it might be worth trying if you are determined to get back in action. I have included the link below:

I hope you get back to your game soon!

When you actually suffer from Tennis Elbow Symptoms, you realize just how much pain the condition can cause. Luckily there are an abundance of products that will help you reduce the pain from tennis elbow. Although not a tennis elbow treatment as such, it is definitley worth looking into the products that will alow you to play without any pain. I have tested a lot of tennis elbow straps over the years and most of them are the same. Uncomfortable, too slack or too tight or just a general annoyance. Fortunatley Neo-G have changed this with their innovative sports technologies. This strap definitley helped reduce my tennis elbow pain the full product name is the Neo-G Medical Grade Tennis Elbow strap. You can pick it up from stores like Amazon.co.uk for a reasonable price.

The term medical grade basically means it has been approved and signed off by sports professionals and phisiotherapists. This is reassuirang as some tennis elbow treatment straps cause more pain than they are worth! The strap works by applying preassure to the tendon complex which are the tendons that come under the most preasure when extending reach during tennis games. Although a simple concept the Neo-G tennis strap works very effectively and most important – it stays firmly in place throughout your game.

I didn’t feel restricted at all when wearing this strap, the only slight downside was that the material irritated me now and then. This is down to my skin type, as nobody else commented on the material so I guess I can live with that!

Beo-G Medical Grade Tennis Elbow Strap Features

  • Innovative compression system.
  • A class 1 Medical Device registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
  • Reduces the stress on tendons during extension.
  • Lightweight snug fit.
  • Available in one size for all.

Here is what other players with tennis elbow symptoms thought:

“Apparently they don’t know exactly how these things help decrease tennis elbow pain, but they work. The current theory is that tennis elbow is a problem with the tendon of one of your forearm muscles. Putting this brace near the tendon of the problem muscle takes pressure off the tendon, giving it a chance to heal. Some of the studies quoted in the book also show these braces can increase your arm strength as well as decrease pain- so there’s a lot of benefit to be gained by using one.

Now the first problem you might imagine you’d have is one of comfort. These things have to be on snug to take pressure off the forearm tendon or they’re useless. Of course more pressure usually means LESS comfort. This one has an insert and an adjustable velcro cinch strap- so its probably going to be comfortable to most people.“

Tennis elbow is a painful condition that affects up to 50% of tennis players, although anyone can develop Tennis Elbow Symptoms, including many who do not play any sports. The medical term for it is called lateral epicondylitis, and it occurs in the tendon connecting the muscle across the top of the forearm, the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle, to the lateral epicondyle, or outer bone of the elbow, resulting in pain and tenderness outside the elbow, possibly extending into the forearm and wrist. Causes of Tennis Elbow Symptoms for tennis players include an improper backhand swing. The grip on the racket may be too small, or the strings may be too tight. Non-players may develop tennis elbow as a repetitive use injury from typing, painting, or using hand tools.

The first sign of Tennis Elbow Symptoms is pain when flexing the elbow and pain when lifting, gripping or holding objects, or when the hand is extended or bent back at the wrist. The second sign of Tennis Elbow Symptoms is weakness in the wrist when turning a door handle or shaking hands. Treatment at the doctor’s office can range from ultrasound, massage therapy, acupuncture, injections, or even surgery. Before you can get to your doctor, there are things you can do at home. First, take a break from any activity that causes pain. Try an NSAID pain reliever; apply ice to the elbow in 15-minute intervals throughout the day; and wear a brace around your forearm. Later, your doctor can recommend regular strengthening and stretching exercises.

Tennis Elbow Symptoms Everything You Need To Know!

Although the name suggests that this injury comes from playing Tennis, in reality it can develop from playing any kind of sport where the elbow joints are put under pressure through constant movement. The tennis elbow symptoms affect the outside part of the elbow and is most commonly found in people aged between 40 and 50 although younger people have also been known to have the condition too. The severity of the condition reflects on how long it takes to fully clear. The healing time can range from two months up to two years for more damaged elbows. It is vital that no pressure is put on the elbow during the healing process to avoid more serious long term damage of the arm.

Tennis elbow (if you hadn’t guessed already) is purely a nickname. Maybe the reason for the nickname is because the real medical term “Lateral Epicondylitis” is difficult to pronounce. The condition was named lateral epicondylytis because the area that is most effected is the epicondyle bone on the outside of the elbow. The uncomfortable tennis elbow symptoms, originate from the tendon which connects the muscles to the forearm. When this tendon snaps due to constant pressure and movement, the area becomes inflames causing pain and discomfort that can be felt throughout the arm. The medical term for the tendon is the extensor tendon.

It is rare to find tennis elbow symptoms in your weaker arm, generally the arm you use the most is subject to more stress and pressure. The pain usually gets worse when the joint is repeatedly moving. It is vital that you do not participate in any kind of sport or activity which requires the use of your arm when you first begin to feel this pain.

Most people believe that the tennis elbow symptoms are only caused by overextension movements of the arm however, knocks and direct blows to this part of the arm have been known to cause tennis elbow.
