Physiotherapy! What kind of therapy were you thinking? After several visits to my MD, with no results for my self-induced weight lifting “Tennis Elbow” injury I called up my physiotherapist Chris and got an appointment. Of course after he heard my story he wanted to know why I waited so long to come and see him and indicated that things were really “messed up” now and the road to recovery might be a long one. But then he proceeded to get on with the treatment.
So, these little BandIt braces will be my buddies for the next who knows how long in addition to various exercises and treatments. So far it’s the braces, anti-inflammatory drugs before bed and first thing in the morning, stretches – palm down on the left and palm up on the right, twist a hammer to the left and right in each hand, and ice as many times as possible for 15 min per elbow, and no lifting or strong gripping for 2 weeks.
I’ll let you know how it goes. So far, the braces are feeling a little weird.
