Guaiacum 30 6 pills twice in day

I think tennis elbow is more related to muscular pain or pain at certain point of elbow, please correct in case of wrong understanding as the pain is there for almost 3months and in X-Ray nothing is serious. As advised earlier by you i am already taking GRAPHITIS 200 as well as ANTIM CRUDUM200 daily twice 6-8 drops in water.

Please advice in addition of these 2 medicines what else is needed in liquid form with potency along with gap in taking them to get rid of tennis elbow issue.

Brief Answer:
Revised medication

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Tennis elbow is inflammation of muscle and tendon that joints the elbow. Muscle and tendon damage after over use or injury due to wrong posture or due to certain sports activity.
Graphitis and antim crud are suggested in case of skin disease and has no role in the treatment of tennis elbow. Medicine would not help you to get relief from pain.
You may revised the medicine in drops from rather than tablet form

Rhododendron 1M 2 drops once in a day
Guaiacum 30 3-4 twice in day
R 11 20 drops with half cup of water twice in a day
Mag phos 200x 4 pills twice in a day.

You may take graphitis and antim crud along with above mentioned medicine. or you may hold the graphitis and antim for some time if relieved by your complain.

Hope line of treatment is clear to you

Thanks
