Hi all,
I think there have been a few tennis elbow posts in the past but no situation quite matched to mine so I thought I would post again.
I have had tennis elbow pain constantly for almost 5 months now. It doesn't just hurt when I am using it - it throbs and aches all the time and it takes me a while to get to sleep. I believe it started from my posture at my desk for the past 6 or so years and then one weights session I lifted too heavy of a weight and that must have triggered it off.
I have been to the physio a few times and he gave me exercises to do - I did them for about a month but found they made the pain worse at night so I have stopped doing them for about 3 weeks. I am not sure whether to try and start the exercises up again or not? I can't really afford to keep going to the physio since it has been going on for so long. I occasionally massage it too and do some light stretching.
I am exhausted from being in pain constantly and just so frustrated. Any tips/advice would be so so appreciated.
Has anyone else had the constant pain for months on end?
