Tennis/Golfer's Elbow - help!
Was trying to do some edging in the garden a few weeks back little realising the back garden had not had any sun and was frozen. I tried to force the edger in and experienced a sharp pain in my elbow which has just not gone away.
I've done an online search and it appears it is tennis elbow rather than golfers elbow as it is the outside of the elbow that is painful. The pain is most acute when I am extending my right arm straight or gripping and lifting things.
With the golf season ahead, rest is not an option I'm afraid so I am looking for pain relief and rehabilitation options. I don't want to be taking NSAID's (advil, brufen etc) for any length of time as I don't want a hole in my stomach! I have searched online and the cuff looks like the best option.
Has anyone else had this condition?
How long did it take to get over it?
What pain relief was most effective?
Any tips or advice?
Thanks guys, I'm pretty confident the US is ahead of the UK in rehabilitation so hopefully someone will have advice not found in the UK.
I've attached a picture of the cuff I found online
