Tendonitis

[bigdaddybadlove]

Hey everybody, I'm looking for advice. I've had tennis elbow on my right arm for the past seven months after doing pushups on my knuckles for an hour, and the more I use it for say lifting and calisthenics the worse the pain gets. I've tried every physical therapy exercise I can find to no avail. I'm trying to resolve this without surgery, is there any aas I could use that would possibly help healing? Sorry if this has been brought up already, I can't find anything related.

Get a theraband and start doing tyler twists daily. Fixed my golfers elbow (reverse tyler twists) right up when nothing else would.

Did you stop training or go way lighter? I got one but since I keep training it just feels like it causes pain when I use the theraband.

You have to stop using it until it heals (if it even will). PT won't do anything if you're continuing to aggravate it.

I haven't exercised in at least three months because of it and I'm not aggravating it at work so I don't know what the fuck is going on. Thanks for the Tyler twist suggestion I watched the video and I'm going to give it a shot. I'm at wits end with this shit and not working out is literally driving me insane.

Yeah that's the problem. I took some weeks off and it felt great. A few days of training and it was back where it has been previously. So I just said f**k it and pressed on. I'm sure I'll regret it down the road. Also have some brutal bicep tendonitis on the other side that needs to get dealt with.

Might be something you need to see a doctor for then. You can get an EMG test done that can look for nerve compression and then decide what to do from there. If nothing works, surgery for tennis elbow has a good success rate. Nerve compression can result in permanent nerve damage if left untreated, so I wouldn't rule it out.

I developed carpal tunnel after starting a carpentry job, and it continued on for months, even after I quit the job. Surgery is what fixed it in my case.
