Patient's question:
I have tennis elbow for two years. Every time I lift heavy objects, the force exerted by my fingers and arms causes pain in my outer elbow and forearm muscles, and sometimes even twisting a towel is painful. It's very sad. Hello, I have had tennis elbow for 2 years and it's very painful. How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
For treating tennis elbow, the treatment is usually based on external therapies. Acupuncture, infrared irradiation therapy, shortwave therapy, intermediate-frequency electrotherapy, heat application therapy, and drug patch therapy are a series of treatments that can effectively enhance the blood and qi circulation in the elbow joint, promote inflammation absorption, and relieve pain symptoms. Tennis elbow is caused by chronic overuse, so it tends to recur. It is recommended to pay attention to preventing cold in the elbow joint in daily life.
