This Is 'Tennis Elbow'

People don’t realize how hard it is to dissect this beautifully 😂

Once upon a time, he was alive and well and now he’s a model for learning.

Dudes got bigger problems going on than tennis elbow lol

[SvendleBerries]

That does indeed suck. I wish him a speedy recovery.

The human body is truly amazing. We often don’t think about how complex we are beneath the skin, but man, it’s a work of art.

Ok I’ve sorted mine and I’ve come back here to share how I did it. I do motorcross and I damaged mine properly!! I tried everything including 3 cortisone injections. I also bought that silly strap which actually hurt it even more. Mine was torn on the tendon and the muscle was torn causing pain from the tendon, down about 5cm. NOTHING worked. Rubbing it sideways, up and down, icing it, etc etc etc…It was so so bad, I couldn’t do anything-had it for 5months.

I started to read all the comments and picked up two bits of info.

I bought a simple hot water bottle. I started every evening after supper, to put the hot water bottle on my arm and hold it there until it cooled down. I got it as HOT AS POSSIBLE!! For as long as possible. I also did it some afternoons. While doing it I kept my arm as STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE!!!

Then, I went to sleep with my arm STRAIGHT and never bent it in the night. I used extra pillows to keep it STRAIGHT. I did this for 3 weeks thinking I’m still going to have to go for an operation.. when one day I woke up and it felt sore, but a different sore. Because I’d kept it STRAIGHT for as long as possible, it had a chance to recover. The heat from the hot water bottle brought blood supply to the area and it healed.

I went for a slow ride yesterday and the rest of my body is sore, but not the tennis elbow.

I’m still doing the hot water bottle!!!! I’m NOT getting this pain again I am determined!!!

HEAT AND OXYGEN & KEEPING IT STRAIGHT WHEN YOU SLEEP.

Try it, don’t use ice, and don’t try anti inflammatorys because you need it inflamed and hot!!!

Good luck!! 👍

Bro fell asleep first at the sleep over

I broke my elbow a couple years ago and haven't got the metal removed. It feels like constant tennis elbow, so fun! 🎉

[sphinxmenow]

Your specimens are so exquisitely prepared!! Kudos to whoever is responsible!!

It's so weird to think someone actually used that arm.

I've tried ice, rest, foam roll, lacross ball roll, voodoo floss...Theraband Flexbar is the only thing that worked for me. Tennis elbow is the result of overuse of a specific muscle group from a repeated, one-sided motion (probably forehand). Working out muscles in the opposite motion will alleviate the pain. Theraband Flexbar helped me understand this.

I lost you at "here's an arm from one of the cadavers"

I developed this condition years ago as an apartment building super from shoveling snow and twisting my arms to throw the snow out of the way. I looked it up in the Merck Manual I had (my substitute for the insurance I couldn't afford), went to the drug store and got forearm braces, and changed the way I was handling the shoveling. It worked and I never had the problem again.

I'm one of those who keep on going. Eventually while catching a softball...it shredded. I'm so grateful for the donations of those who have left this plane. L elbow like new. An incredible gift, but definitely not anything anyone should keep "getting after it." Love your body. And thank you for this page and information. Such beautifully dissected cadavers. ❤

[sudokode]

Oh shit. That's an arm. A whole goddamn arm. Like muscle, tendons, everything... Damn dude... That's legit. I missed everything you said because goddamn that's a whole arm 😐

[sheilasmith]

Working with cadavers helped me to better understand A&P when I was at university! Your refresher clips and videos are awesome and do HELP people, to better understand their own bodies and healing!💕

"This is tennis elbow"

Tennis: "he took my whole damn arm!"

[lajya]

Those things don't heal that easily, it can last for months.

The Tendon which is often involved or mainly involved in Tennis-Elbow is the Tendon which connects the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis to the Lateral Epicondlye
