I have suffered with this for the past 3 years. I have had 3 injections in each elbow, they lasted about 3 months each. I have had physio and ultrasound. Still no help. I went to visit a specialist yesterday and he told me i need to have surgery on both elbows. thats going to put me out of work and out of the gym for a long time. Has anyone had this procedure done and can anyone recommend anything different please

Ouchie!

I suffered from elbow pain/tendinitis for years(worse case scenario it was hard to lift a coffee cup to my mouth or comb my hair) but once I quit nightshades it improved quite dramatically. That said at the same time I finally consulted a chiropractor for my neck/upper back issues so that may have had a positive impact as well.

Despite the love them/hate them response from people to the subject of chiro I know from personal experience that I am now painfree thanks to my DC. It took a leap of faith no different from accepting paleo and I am so glad I jumped for both of them.

Most folk get chiro coverage with their benefits so seek out a good sports chiro before you resort to  surgery....worse thing you have to lose is some time.

Best of luck.

Wlfdg thats exactly what it is, in both arms. I am a plumber and tiler  and its an overuse injury. The gym hasn't helped either

I have started aspirin today in the hope that it stops the inflammation. I take omega3 fish oil daily (2400mg) and have done the past 4 months. I also take a chondroitin complex, it has glucosamine (1500mg), chondroitin sulphate (1200mg). I take 3 of them a day. I am eating high fat and high protein. Also low carbs. No nightshades and no alcohol. I don't do any exercises in the gym to aggravate the condition. And I don't want surgery.

thanks for that. I don't know if that would apply to me as its the lateral side of my elbows that are the problems
