Thread: Diagnosed with "tennis elbow"

I got it one year from casting too much with light jigs.I was trying to throw them too far and just casting to hard. I had to stop and vertical fish for a while...took about a year and mine cleared up. My wife has fibromyalgia and uses Voltaren gel for her aches and pains. I have tried it on some of my sprains and it is good. I would soak it in epsom salt a while each day and maybe talk to your doc about the creme...it is prescription...pretty good stuff. I also have used vibrators on injuries before too..they seem to increase circulation and promote healing.

Canepole I have had it to hit me in my elbow,wrist,knee. My gets so bad lose all function of the of the joint. The only thing that help's is a cortzone shot around the joint. Most painful shot I've tooked. After the shot start's getting better. Good luck.

Jeeze! I didn't even know about Crappie.com back then! LOL!

Yep Cane Pole. Like others have said. A band just below the elbow works wonders .Reduces the pulling and movement of the inflamed tendon. Took me 6-8 months to get over it. It hurt to even pick up a cup of coffee. Got mine from shooting archery. Pulling and twisting the forearm hundreds or even thousands times a day took its toll.

Ima gonna give the ban a try. I ordered one from Amazon. None available @ local stores.

va has them they gave me mine

Like a little old lady told me in the Dr's office, "Getting Old Isn't Fer Sissies"

I said, " Yes Mam I know, I'm NOT Getting Old, I Am OLD!!

It will go away if you take it easy on it. I had golfers elbow for about a year. I don't take drugs either, I used a brace and had my electrician co workers to bend all the big wire for me and wrestle it into the lugs. It finally healed up. I'm a drummer and can use my left hand almost as well as my right so used my left hand to fish with, casting accuracy was off a bit and I couldn't skip a panfish assassin like usual but I got the job done. I stayed hung up more often that was aggravating.
