So this is my latest ailment which began a few days after returning from a family vacation last week (all of six days out of the water). Only my right elbow is affected, although I breathe bilaterally. And no, I don't play golf. Anyone else have any experience with this?
I had bilateral medial epicondylitis that caused me grief for over 2 years. I got it from sculling (incorrectly, I presume) - made such a lovely impression on me, I remember the day - Nov 4, 2009. I tried all the things mentioned above - cortisone shots, PRP, accupuncture, PT, ice, prednisone, you name it, I tried it. Turns out I somehow managed to move the nerve in my elbows & had to have them moved back into the correct position surgically. Did that in April 2012. Surgery actually did the trick - I still have some residual pain in the left elbow - but it was always worse than the right, but it is getting better day by day. They say nerve injuries can take a year to mend. If you can't remember exactly what you did to have the pain, I'm betting it is probably some sort of inflammation caused from over use & the cortisone will help immensely. Best wishes. They do say the average time it takes to heal from golfers elbow is 18 months.
