...or Tennis Elbow to the uneducated - like me.
I've often scoffed at this before, thinking it would be no more than a mild irritant, but I've just been diagnosed with it in both elbows.
One is worse than the other, and was probably brought on by an impact I had while skiing in March.
I didn't think I'd broken my elbow, so figured it would heal on its own, but it got steadily worse to the point I was having difficulty gripping stuff.
Then, after I got a 'C' bag for my Brompton I got pain in both elbows. Thinking it was something to do with all the weight on the front of the bike, I've stopped using that.
But it seems it may be down to poor technique and locking my elbows while riding as well.
Just been prescribed anti-inflammatory tablets, but wondered if anyone else has suffered, and if so, what did you do? And how long did it take to fix?
