Suggest Remedy For Pain After Surgery For Tennis Elbow

I had surgery for tennis elbow, I had pain in the usual place and in the anticubital area too. Prior to surgery I had 3 cortisone injections. Pain is when I twist my arm, it goes to my thumb area. The doctor said the pain would go away after surgery. The lateral pain is gone.

Hello,

You will get relief with soft tennis elbow support brace.

Other precautions which will also help you are,
Start elbow exercises consulting physiotherapist also Physiotherapy like TENS and ultrasound will help. Take calcium supplement with vit D.
Avoid lifting weight and screwing movement.

If no relief in tennis elbow pain then repeat local injection shot may help.

Last step is fat/tendon graft and re surgery flexor tissue surgically.

Hi,
You need to give the hand some time to heal. You can apply ice to reduce pain and swelling. Do not twist your arm as it will interfere with the healing. Then slowly start exercises under a physios guidance. It will be fine don't worry.
