Tennis/Golfers Elbow and Tendinosis

Hey there haven’t seen you in a long time here. So tennis elbow even though you feel the pain on the outside of the elbow that issue is really the tendons on the forearm on the top side and the bottom side where they go to the inside of elbow.

Non-Lyme people obviously get this too.
If you can find any active release technique anywhere on the Internet for tennis elbow you will see they talk about this and show how to treat it. So this can be abbreviated as ART and it’s different than the ART that the lyme world knows.

You cant do PT with tendon issues. PT is for muscles . These PT places dont get it half the time.

Its usually chiropractors who do more than cracking who implement ART.

Im doing pretty good. Now just aging lol.

This guy starts the ART process for tennis elbow at the 230 mark.

In the beginning he shows identifying which tendons are sore by moving with your fingers and actually watching your forearm muscles. Remember tendons are the ends of muscles.

Hi Chappelle.

I had tendonitis a few years ago.
It was very painful. I just woke up with it.
I hadn’t done anything to cause it - it just appeared.
I went to my dr that day in agony.

The first few days were awful… then it slowly got better.
I blame it on Lyme/Bartonella.

It hasn’t come back - thank goodness!

Hi Girlie. How long did it take to go away?

I think about a week it was somewhat better and another week for it to completely resolve.

It was so painful at first - I was in tears.

Edit to add: mine wasn’t around the elbow - it was higher up on my arm. (Tricep)

Thank you so much. Why do you know so much about this LOL
Did you have the condition yourself??

I used to have a lot of posts on how to correct body mechanics. I basically had to rebuild / treat probably 50% of the muscles and tendons in my body. Treating the infections halted the downward progress but did not correct what was left. I had to learn how to fix it. LLMD’s do not understand this stuff.

In the past I was very competitively athletic ( even with lyme), till it got so bad i could no longer do it. So between that along with decades of lyme , my body was pretty beat up. Although my life is not very exciting anymore, I usually get to wake up most mornings pain-free. Oh and as an added bonus I actually sleep now.

I have zero healthcare clinical licensing but I’m pretty sure I could help many peoples structural problems in person, just from what I’ve learned and practiced on myself. I sought out various types of "body clinicians" (PT's, chiros ect) who were open minded enough to explain to me what they were doing. Some these people who were willing to help also suggested several workbooks which I purchased some of, checked out some from the library, and read up some online.

ART is just one of the several forms of techniques that help correct body mechanics that are neither physical therapy nor chiropractic.

ok, thanks. you definitely are a great resource. Kudos to you for staying on this forum and helping others. I wish I had more time to.

I hope to get this resolved eventually. I am very athletic too, so this is very frustrating for me.

so I went to the chiro today. The xray shows disc issues at C6, which he says is the cause of my elbow pain, so that I don't actually have tennis elbow. I hope he is right and he can fix this!!!

Hey, Chapelle, I just wanted to ensure you saw my mention of Penetrex. If so, please forgive the repeat.

Thanks for the Penetrex recommendation Dude!! I might give that a try one day when I start falling apart even more 🙂
