Hey people!

 

I have a tennis elbow and a busted knee that just doesn't want to heal. I have been to a physio and a dr. What medial professional does one go to and consult about these "muscle" issues? I do not want to go to a dr again who will charge me and then reffer me to another medical person?

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks!

I had my tennis-elbow operated on 8 months ago. That was after 3 cortisone injections (max you may receive) of which the firs one worked for 3 months, the second 4 days and the third for 2 weeks. The surgeon said that my case is ’n bit extreme so it might take a while to heal. Like I said, 8 months and I am still less of a man than I was. Can’t throw a stone, can’t hit a golf ball, cant throw my dog a ball. Now I have to go back for the same op.

Nothing you can do for a tennis elbow, just rest, which means you shouldn’t use your arm to turn the meat on the braai.....

I don’t have advice for you, just sympathy. Good luck.
