Tennis Elbow

WHAT IS TENNIS ELBOW ❓ 🔥SEPT 19 - BACKGROUND: not long after #stroke & #heartsurgery , I had a fall with a wheelbarrow - fell backwards flat onto concrete bricks, hitting the left elbow..... #painfull, YES! 🔥I put up with pain thinking it was just a #sprain , jarring, bruised, etc.... ➡️MID JAN 20 - RETURN TO FITNESS & TRAINING: could not understand why I could not do bb rows, deadlifts, flys, straight arm resistance, push ups, planks, etc without pain in my #elbow, #wrist and #tricep. 🔥FEB 20 - OCCIPITAL INJECTIONS IN HEAD ➡️NIL TRAINING AT ALL, ONLY STRETCH & ROLL. ➡️MARCH - RETURN TO LIGHT WEIGHT BEARING EXERCISE. 🔥Extreme pain to lift a 20kg 😢 Pain when straighten arm, pain to put any weight on arm!! Full arm pain radiating from elbow. ➡️PHYSIO - suggested scan to be done. 🔥COULD NOT, put up with the pain anymore - #scan yesterday showed severe #tendinopathy (Tennis Elbow) ➡️The symptoms of #tenniselbow include pain & tenderness in the bony knob on the outside of your elbow. ➡️This is where the #tendons connect to the bone..this pain can generate to the upper & lower part of the arm although the pain is actually in the elbow. ✅Trust you body when in pain, it's signals the signs to your brain to get checked out. ✅I'm just lucky I finally listened to doctors and gradually increased exercise. ✅You don't need to be a Tennis or Golf Player to work that out 👍 @rocktapeaustralia @peake_training #tenniselbow #armpain #triceps #doctor #brain #symptoms #tenderness
