Tennis Elbow

[Bateman]

Does / Has anyone sufferd from this.? I was told that its tendon damage in the forearm but will heal within 2 - 3 weeks.

I wondered if this is common in our sport , and how people would deal with this coming upto a fight ? is there a way to hurry up the healing process ?

Thanks

Hey man, Tennis Elbow (Lateral epicondylitis) is an overuse injury which normally comes from repetitive movements/activites. On a physical level it is inflammation of the tendon that passes across the elbow and if you imagine a worn rope thats kind of what is happening.

Your first goal should be do decrease the inflammation so using ice (20mins on maximum and then off for an hour), antiinflammatories such as ibuprofen and rest or decrease in the aggrevating activity.

Problems that people encounter with such a condition are that once it settles they go back too soon and (more than often) TOO HARD into the activity that previously caused it beggining the inflammation picture again.

In order to manage this activity should be returned to gradually, stretches of the arm and wrist along with the use of ice etc should be used to control the reaction. Over time the tendon should repair and become stringer and more resistant. Other methods of off loading the tendon such as taping or strapping are also used. I hope that helps.

All the best.

This is totally correct, my bjj coach said, use ice and my doctor prescribed me with ibuprofen, i thought i had landed wrong but i used to play a lot of tennis and when grappling i got it, i thought at first fracture as i couldn't lift it and when rolling i tried for a darce and couldn't lock my arms together it was that painful.
