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.
