Tendonitis is when the tendon is overworked and becomes inflammed.Tendonosis is when the tendon is damaged, usually caused by an overuse cycle not giving the tendon a chance to heal correctly after overuse. Healing a damaged tendon takes along time.<br />Google &quot;Tendonosis&quot;. The modalities for Tendosis are different from Tendonitis.Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14548770316898326920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-51749465139455196162010-05-13T00:21:49.882+08:002010-05-13T00:21:49.882+08:00Also By using Arm Friendly racket we can get away from Tennis Elbow<br />Racket details :<br /><br />http://tennisworld-tennis.blogspot.com/2010/05/prokennex-ionic-ki-5-tennis-racket.htmlBhathiya99http://www.blogger.com/profile/12198979573706158746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-37807666041819673242010-01-15T17:47:24.541+08:002010-01-15T17:47:24.541+08:00.., i also had my elbow pain... i use to play tennis but i am not really into it... i wonder if you can have elbow pain if you are not engaged in tennis for such a long time.....<br /><a href="http://www.tenniselbowpaincure.com" rel="nofollow">tennis elbow</a>yamahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11125500842758964255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-9346046943400877252009-12-03T07:46:57.487+08:002009-12-03T07:46:57.487+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05176421030890385127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-78012265674787645982009-12-03T01:30:01.333+08:002009-12-03T01:30:01.333+08:00Hi Nawin, I happened to visit your site whilst looking for a racket review but got interested in the tennis elbow (TE)comments/research in all the posts. I thought I would like to add my experience here as it could be VERY beneficial to any TE sufferers. I stress that I have no financial interest in recommending what I have used to help myself with my own TE problem: here is the story.<br />I have been playing tennis for more than 30 years , some of them as a pro in Europe,and a few months ago I developed a very bad case of TE (mainly, I think, due to bad lazy technique I developed in my backhand). I could not even hold anything without feeling pain, let alone lifting objects; I started to rest, met with the doctor , used local external creams : no improvements whatsoever, total waste of time; I then searched high and low online and after coming across some ridiculous &quot;solutions&quot;, I bumped into a site where they talked of an experiment carried out on a number of TE sufferers which had led to amazing results in a short period of time (less than 2 months). I read the whole thing over and over and then decided to give it a go as it did not require an incredible outlay. To cut the story short, I bought myself the rubber bar used in the experiment and started to do the recommended daily exercises (3 times p/d). I am not exaggerating but I started to feel the benefits after 3 (THREE) days only !!! I have now been using it for about 4 weeks and can honestly say that :<br />1)I can&#39;t feel any pain AT ALL when lifting or holding objects<br />2)I can grip with strength anything I like<br />3)I have been playing squash once a week and have not felt any pain either, even after the games.<br />I haven&#39;t played tennis yet as the weather here in the UK has been miserably wet lately and have no indoor courts nearby so cannot say just yet whether the TE has gone for goods but I am very confident that I am definitely in the right direction. If anyone wants to read the same article I read, it can be found on : http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/25/phys-ed-an-easy-fix-for-tennis-elbow/<br />Good luck and well done for your research!

I have had it in my left elbow for 2y,11m. Had 2 cortisone, accupun. drugs, ultrasound, physio and SURGERY. I knew the risks going into it and I knew it might not work.....and it didn&#39;t. I have never recovered. I started compensating for the bad elbow by using the good elbow alot more. Now I have tennis elbow in the right elbow too. I have had it for 1 year on the right. I have recently had IMS (intra muscular stimulation). That usually shows improvement in 6-8 treatments. I had 12 treatments and it didn&#39;t work. I have been told that I will have chronic pain for the rest of my life (I am 38y old female) and they can&#39;t find any reason for my &#39;good&#39; eblow to not be getting any better. I am now grumpy because all of my regular activities are difficult if not impossible and I am overworking my husband and 3 kids because of my limitations. I have been told that I am in the wrong profession (I am a childcare worker) but now I am at a loss as to what to do now. HAS ANYONE EVER EXPERIENCED TENNIS ELBOW THIS LONG WITH NO RELIEF? SO FAR I HAVEN&#39;T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYBODY SUFFERING FROM DAILY CHRONIC PAIN DUE TO TENNIS ELBOW. PLEASE HELP ME.....:(Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02787875450223724645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-58464815414008293432009-09-29T18:40:43.036+08:002009-09-29T18:40:43.036+08:00Great content, i think this is the most detail and revelant post about tennis elbow cure on the net. i agree with most of what you said and will try the rest of your advice.<br />i too find:<br />1/ Accupunture not working for me, heard it worked for some people tho.<br />2/ Pain killer and pain killer patches didn&#39;t work for me too.<br />3/ swimming (breast stroke) helped me too, good PT for tennis elbow and great total body workout to strengthen my muscles so i won&#39;t rely on my hand that much. also helpful is other core strength workouts that relieve stress on your arm.<br />4/ I hesitated about trying glucosamine but will do so immediately as i think you gave sound advice and it help with my knee pain before. thanks.<br />5/ the racket i am using is Pure Drive Cortex. i am thinking about changing to a softer non-poly strings too. right now my luxilon alu power 16 is at 55 pounds is definitely making my tennis elbow worse. might change to wilson nxt or tenifibre x1 biphase. actually as a casual tennis player, i don&#39;t know much about strings but tennis elbow force me to do some hard research. about what Makinao said adding weight to the grip, i might try too, will it help?<br />other silly things i tried including switching to 2h BH, which helped, but i think i am getting minor tennis elbow on my left hand too.sorindianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06631734318927008198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-8736342585981579472009-05-20T00:23:00.000+08:002009-05-20T00:23:00.000+08:00I've had tennis elbow twice, but not from playing tennis. The second time started last November. My old rackets were Slazenger ProBraided Xtremes, which are very flexible and very head light. I used 17 gauge poly strings at 58 lbs. to give it a nice pop. But I broke one of them in December, so I replaced them with a Pure Drive + Cortex's in January.Unfortunately my tennis elbow not only got worse, I also strained my rotator cuff, and developed tennis elbow in my left arm as well. I traced the problem to two things in the PD+C. <br /><br />First, the PD+C is not as head light as my old racket, and it ended up stressing my wrists. Overextended wrists pull the muscles associated with tennis elbow, which is why my orthopedic surgeon told me never to use a head-heavy racket. So I added 11 grams of lead tape to the PD+C's handle make the balance similar to my old racket. <br /><br />Second, i strung my PD+C initially with a full poly setup, like with my old racket. But this added too much stiffness to an already stiff racket that is the PD+C, and was simply too much for my 50 year old arms. So I changed to synthetic 17 gauge strings. The racket now feels more comfortable, without being spongy. I'm up to 55 lbs. tension, and will try 58 at my next string change. <br /><br />One good side effect of my modifications is that the racket is now more stable than before. I played with some college varsity players last week, and my racket never flinched. <br /><br />Its taken a while to rehab my arms (which is a story in itself) and find the right racket/string setup. But I'm almost pain free, and am finally starting to enjoy my PD+C's.makinaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03560189083190282212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-11977537404930233662009-04-29T03:06:00.000+08:002009-04-29T03:06:00.000+08:00Foran So looking at this may also help.<br />Secondly, I agree with your recommendation of Glucosamine.

I have been strugling with tennis elbow this past two weeks and have been doing some research for home remedies and exercises and basically genearl information to heal the pain and prevent it from happening again.<BR/><BR/>I must say your blog and this other site www.tenniselbowsupport.net have been the two most helpful sources of information.<BR/><BR/>Thank you!jigsawchildrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17208990266115835375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-267984598151508722009-03-14T14:29:00.000+08:002009-03-14T14:29:00.000+08:00Hi TendonitisExpert,<BR/><BR/>Icing merely relieved my tennis elbow for the time being. It was not really beneficial for me. I think it's good for immediate impact injury to prevent swelling and some temporary relief but not as a cure for long term tennis elbow injuries.regentvillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02482321552754544921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-28402261936010777252009-03-14T14:26:00.000+08:002009-03-14T14:26:00.000+08:00Hi Alison,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for finding the research I did on tennis elbow beneficial. I am not sure if swimming will aggravate you knee injury, as I am not sure how severe and what kind of knee injury it is. I suggest that you consult your doctor to get his opinion. I am NOT a trained medical professional to give you such advice.<BR/><BR/>I personally find swimming good as its usually low impact and good for physio therapy so you get some exercise while strengthening the injured area. Swimming really helped my tennis elbow though. Hope this helps and good luck!regentvillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02482321552754544921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-51956529762799758062009-03-11T22:34:00.000+08:002009-03-11T22:34:00.000+08:00Thank you for sharing your research and experience. I also found that acupuncture didn't help and was both painful and painfully expensive. Acupuncture was beneficial however for helping a knee injury. I wanted to know if swimming would aggravate the condition.

I've had all sorts of treatment but they are all short-lived. Eric of Transworld suggested acupuncture but I am unsure.....thanks for your sharing.ahymnadayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06622897410159324819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-19284427429304663202008-07-23T01:19:00.000+08:002008-07-23T01:19:00.000+08:00Hey, good stuffs and material, but I do have a few comments.<BR/><BR/>A lot of people used the light weight but stiff and head heavy racquets, that really hurts! You can have stiff racquets, but it has better come with certain weight or you have to have good swing. A lot is really coming from bad swing technique, gripping too tight (bad grip size) and using too much arm strength on swing. That really should be the case only when you want to hit a winning shot with added power.<BR/><BR/>One thing about your article, of string tension at 55-. It seriously is low, unless you are using a super heavy head racquet and with a very short swing pattern. I reckon anything about or below 58 with new racquets damping material will help.<BR/><BR/>Another point. I have witnessed enough people playing extended hours of tennis, and their swing mechanism changed a lot to using too much arm muscle strength. That is another killer. You do not know how much damage you can get from that, as when you energy level comes down so much, you tend to grip the racquet tighter and use a lot of arm strenght. That really hurts.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, get a good coach to tell you what is right!icemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16882118589147053045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-17494031186322883402008-06-08T17:05:00.000+08:002008-06-08T17:05:00.000+08:00Hi Nawin,<BR/><BR/>I have just read yr article on Tennis Elbow problems. I must say I was very impressed with the research you have done and the content of your Blog. I do believe your advise is pretty good. i hope I may be allowed to offer 2 further suggestions - as I am a regular player too and lucky enough not to suffer any joint or medical problems to hamper my tennis,presently. I would like to say that from my own experience, I noticed that technique may play a part to causing this type of injury. So looking at this may also help.<BR/>Secondly, I agree with your recommendation of Glucosamine. I would add that you should look at the amount you are currently taking. I have noticed Glucosamine does not work with everyone, don't know why, but if you find it works to some extent, I would say you are probably not taking the correct dosage. Look to double what you are taking and do this before and after you play.<BR/>If you are getting a good quality supply of Glycosamine (and I leave this to your own judgement), you should have no worries about overdosing on this food supplement.<BR/>2 reasons why I can say the above. One, I used to take Glycosamine + Chondrine for a shoulder problem which was caused and made worse by constant serving in tennis. The problem eventually just tailed away to insignificance - should give you hope. Second, I now deal with Glucosamine and other similar "sugars" called Glyconutrients on a daily basis. You may read this on my website - www.glyconutrients.sg . These are FOOD so not to worry about overdosing or side effects, assuming they are from a good source. I hope this will help your condition.<BR/><BR/>Edwin - dragunus@gmail.comdragunushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03550691276392183572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15314101.post-11741317280540460502008-05-06T19:55:00.000+08:002008-05-06T19:55:00.000+08:00Nawin, great post - I had exactly the same problems with really bad tennis elbow (unfortunately initiated by a bout of drunken arm wrestling last year) and the condition has never gone away entirely. I also use a Babalat Pure Drive which is great when there's no pain but exacerbates the injury consistently now - after reading your article I switched to a Babolat Pure Storm Tour strung at 55 and I can play again. I would have completely overlooked the impact of a racket change had it not been for your blog so thanks very much for your informative article.
