This is what really helped me.

CT cream.

I was really sceptic about this but considering I had two tennis elbows and could hardly lift anything. Had light treatment, heat treatment, cortisone injections etc but nothing helped. I tried this cream as I thought it can't get any worse. After 5 days it was totally gone. Everytime I feel it coming up now or when I have other joint pains I use it. Still can't believe it but it does work for me. Definately worth a go.

Goodluck.

last week i couldnt even squeeze the toothpaste tube or shower gel,So i went to the docs for a cortisone injection,that seems to have helped,but i will look at getting the cream.

Hi Gary,

As for the cortisone it does work but only on a temporarily basis. When you have the injection the pain is almost instantly gone, however with me it was always back within a couple of hours. If you will have to have a lot of injections it appears to eat your tendons away, so I've been told.

Give the CT a go. I also found at the time but it was a few years ago, that it was cheaper to order directly from the States than from the UK but I did live in The netherlands at the time. Maybe still worth checking out.

I spent most of my teenage years and early 20s with tennis elbow (the outer side of the joint) and golfers elbow (the inner side of the joint)too due to playing several musical instruments.

I had endless physio, wore clasps around my forearms (these can work), had cortizone injections (worked for about 6 months and then the pain came back), but the TE only went away when I had my back properly seen to. There was a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders which was causing it. The GE went away with surgery.

Out of sheer exasperation I ended up seeing the top upper limb specialist in the UK - his name is John Stanley. If you have private medical insurance you could do worse than try to get a consultation with him.
