Title: Tennis elbow
Post by: Pastis on June 30, 2012, 04:44:23 PM
Ouch ...  cry:  Haven't been playing (or watching) tennis and anyway it'd be the wrong elbow  noooo:
No clue as to how it's arrived ... Ralgex and an elasticated grip at the moment. Do you reach a certain age when various parts just give up?   scared2:

Body parts are weirdly different.  I remember reading that over a lifetime the skeleton regenerates around 16 times whereas brain cells ... nada ...  noooo:

I doubt it. Just waving it doesn't cause much wear.

Most likely outcome would be a bend to the right rather than the left!

Oh bugger I have been doing it wrong all these years.  I have been crawling out of this body and scuttling off to find a bigger body to get into then hiding in a safe place until I get all the bits in the right place. redface:

Tennis elbow = ouch Mr P and is not usually caused by playing tennis, 'tis arthritis/age related I am afraid. happy100
Growler you daft bear you get a  happy100 anyway.

Ibuprofen with a PG chaser is working good here   ;)     :thumbsup:

Hope your Ibuprofen is more effective than mine. I've had a migraine-like headache all day  cry:

At the moment I think it would be easier to list those that aren't ailing, rather than those that are in here  noooo:

Used to get migraine years ago, quack prescribed some drugs, one to be taken at the onset another later if needed.  Worked like magic for me, made me feel a bit sick for half an hour but it was well worth it.  Can't remember the name but might be worth some investigation as I believe you get them regularly JOM.

Pastis, thanks much appreciated, I can't take Ibuprofen. I have Morphine though. :thumbsup:

The answer to migraine is usually Imigran - normally on prescription, but you can nowadays get a reduced dose tablet over the counter at the pharmacy.

Weirdly, I suffer from this on the days I'm not working - everything seems to seize up, but my elbows suffer worst, doubtless lobbing 30kgs of Samsonite is the root cause.
