Day of Valor
I have been experiencing pain on my right arm. Didn't bother myself about it since late February. However, it has become unbearable.
After the past couple of years of having my carpal tunnel syndrome released, my lumbar slip disc injected with epidural, my degenerative disc disease (ddd) healed by therapy, (plus my bout with the dreadful chicken pox....at my age....) I have acquired another bone/muscle illness according to my trusted orthopeadic surgeon.
I have Tennis Elbow!
Strange but I never engaged in any raquet sport or anything strenous to abuse my arm. But Doc said it's wear and tear. First thing that came to mind was....."Am I like an aircon fan belt or a worn out tire?" "Is this age related?"
Painkillers were prescribed for 10 days. But that was 2 weeks ago. I have to bear the pain than be dependent on medicines. Tomorrow is therapy session 3/6. I just wish it heals real soon so I can enjoy summer.
Rehab again?

may bago na akong entry! comment naman kayo kahit ano!!!
he he he....
as if i don't know what's been happening to you, - your bones in particular :)
as i have mentioned to you and i know you don't like pointed or sharp objects inside you :) i am still hoping that you consider acupuncture as an alternative.
it may or may not work but if you google it, acupuncture is the first choice of doctors and their patients in the treatment of tennis elbow.
kaya friend, patusok ka na.
i don't like getting pricked. it's so masakit and eeekie!!!!
