Suggest Treatment For Tennis Elbow

Going to therapy golfers or tennis elbow (I don t play either one) and getting relief from pain and swelling. Now I have a knot on the inside of the elbow that feels like it is fluid. What is this? They have no clue what to do. No x-ray or MRI has been done. Should I ask for one? Have been in pain and unable to use arm for over 4 months. Please help me.

Hello,

Avoid exposure of cold.

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 local injection shot may help.

Last step is release of inflamed flexor tissue surgically.

MRI may help in diagnosis.
