    Any medics on here?
    I have an attack of Tennis Elbow.
    I have tried the following to fix it over the last month.
    (Yes, I am a typical male - I don't go to the doctors unless I'm in a real bad way)

    1. Cold gel
    2. Ralgex
    3. Diclofenac gel
    4. Ibruprofen gel
    5. Tiger balm

    I don't want a steroid injection (which is what I know I will get if I go to the docs)

    I had two steroid injections in two weeks and neither worked....ended up going to physio for ultrasound treatment which worked.
    When at work i now wear a clasp and have an portable ultrasound device i use at home especially after a session at the gym.

    Stop doing whatever causes it and take lots of ibruprofen.
    Being a bricklayer this is the bain of of my life. Cortisone injections are the only real cure and they hurt like hell!

    I know they hurt like hell - I've had them once before!

    It is work related - so I can't really stop doing it.

    Ive had injections before (once) and by god they hurt!
    But, I think I need to book a doctor appt.
    (After a month - this isn't going to go away easily)

    I have tried to rest that arm - but to no avail - still swollen and painful, even after taking ibuprofen.
