Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother is a painter. Recently, she has been experiencing pain on the outside of her elbow joint. The pain becomes particularly severe whenever she is painting. Her hand cannot grip things firmly, so she went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was tennis elbow. Hello, what is tennis elbow? What medicine is good for tennis elbow?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Tennis elbow patients can use corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and blood-activating and anti-swelling drugs for regulation. Specific drug use requires guidance from a doctor. Tennis elbow is also known as epicondylitis of the humerus, which is mainly caused by prolonged mechanical friction and overfatigue. This condition may recur repeatedly, so appropriate rehabilitation exercises should be performed to reduce joint strength.
