Tennis Elbow Lateral Epicondylitis Therapy – Should I have an elbow injection?
If recommended by your specialist YES -
BUT in my opinion only after
- you can fully straighten your elbow
- you have a good stretch in your extensor muscles
- you have tried a few weeks of a structured rehab program
AND you still have pain!

Tennis Elbow Injury
It is thought that an Acute Tennis Elbow injury consists of microscopic tears in the attachment of the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis muscle to the bone.
This tearing results in the stimulation of the repair process which increases collagen production and new blood vessel growth.
This increase in blood vessels may explain the Tennis Elbow symptoms as well as a local increase in temperature.
I also discuss the action of the muscle at the elbow and wrist which contributes to the problem.

Tennis Elbow / Lateral Epicondylitis / Lateral Epicondylosis
These are essentially all the same thing.
If you answer yes to my question in the Video then you have at least some form of Tennis Elbow.
However there may be several possible complicating factors which affect what exercises you need to be doing to get better.
