I could never forget the experience. I still recall the painful sensation in my fingertips, my forearm, and of course, that part of my elbow where the pain grew from. It’s still fresh in my mind despite the fact that I managed to recover from this terrible condition almost a year ago.
Prior to recovery, I wondered constantly, what can I do about tennis elbow? I thought physiotherapy was out of the question because the fee would probably be in the hundreds of dollars. And let’s not forget the extras like therapy devices, equipment and things like that. Darn it, my tennis elbow won’t heal and I was very determined to get rid of it for good.
Luck arrived when one of my Facebook contacts from Canberra Australia, suggested this book about curing tennis elbow using stuff you have at home. Naturally I was skeptical, but since the book has a refund offer posted clearly on the site, I thought it was worth a try. For your information, the book is downloadable and there’s even a cool animated video intro about the book. To watch the intro, use the shortcut link below the following picture.
Tennis elbow is curable, and most importantly, it can be cured permanently. In some cases, a relapse might occur but you can tackle it successfully by performing the tennis elbow prevention exercise described in the aforementioned book. Permanent healing can be achieved through several weeks of tennis elbow strengthening routines. The following pronation/supination routine is a favorite amongst tennis elbow sufferers.
However, please refrain from doing this routine or any other tennis elbow strengthening routines for that matter, until the inflammation on the outer part of your elbow has faded from sight, and the muscles feel sufficiently healthy to undergo a series of forearm and elbow strengthening routines.
In that case, what can I do about tennis elbow inflammation? The remedy for inflammation can be found in your freezer. The ice cubes in the freezer are your best friends! Inflammation can be healed with several sessions of ice compression. Load up the ice cubes in a small clean towel and press them against the swelling area. Compression should ideally lasts for 10 to 15 minutes only.
Now I understand that holding a towel loaded with ice for 15 minutes can get tiresome. So to solve this, I suggest you get another towel and tie it neatly around your arm along with the towel with ice cubes. Don’t put it on too tight, or you’ll mess up your blood flow.
You know, I thought my tennis elbow won’t heal, but this process proved otherwise. I had to ice my pain area about 4 times a day and each session lasted for 10 minutes. The reddish colored inflammation around my elbow decreased dramatically within 2 to 3 days. After the swelling had gone, I embarked on a full treatment program to prevent tennis elbow from coming back.
