What do you have? Tennis elbow? everynametaken Send a noteboard - 06/02/2012 04:29:53 PM
I'm wearing a splint or brace, and it helps. My doctor gave me a prescription, so I could claim it through my work benefits. It cost around $40.

You can try massaging the area with an ice cube. Put the cub in a cloth and rub it on the sore spot with slight pressure.

Someone recommended acupuncture, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to go that far yet.


Is it chronic and do cortizone shots not help anymore. If so, I'll tell you my story and what fixed it but I am not sure how severe your pain is or if you are talking about tennis elbow or something else.

I've always suspected doctors do more harm than good (cipro/tendonitis) (NSSP). - 06/02/2012 03:43:31 PM 926 Views

Acupuncture is not measurably more effective than a placebo, so I would recommend saving your money. *NM* - 06/02/2012 08:59:21 PM 328 Views
For one, that statement varies on the study. - 06/02/2012 09:53:57 PM 727 Views
There are better trials than the random-insertion "sham" acupuncture ones. - 08/02/2012 04:53:08 PM 802 Views
