Tennis Elbow & Bursitis

[foo on patrol]

Lucky me, I have tennis elbow in both arms and bursitis in both shoulders!

The good thing is, it doesn't affect me greatly on the bike but is a bitch, in everyday life. I am trying a brace on my worst arm and some drugs for the shoulders, so I will see what happens next.

Fellow tennis player here. Had to stop tennis, but mine was achilles about to explode. It's a brutal sport and tears your body apart. Better to cycle. Hang in there buddy.

I've never played tennis in my life, Calvin.

Not sure this brace thing on my arm is doing anything for the tennis elbow.

Been to a physio?

Not yet. Trying to get one sorted for my sciatica problem, so it will be combined.

I occasionally got tennis elbow. Apart from having a good diet of course, i found that exercises with a torsion bar (eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlsS2dzUp6o) really help.

I'm on a roll. I now have Bursitis at the top of my left femur and hip joint. The Dr wanted to give me a steroid injection but I declined and said I'd wait to see how it goes. He then says, if it's not better by next Friday, I will need to get the injection. Sucks to have lead a hard life.
