Q: Tennis Elbow

Can anyone please suggest an alternative to steriod injections? I have tennis elbow in both elbows. I have been to see my doctor who suggested one exercise I can do, taking anti-inflamatory's and then steriod injections. She didn't really explain the cause and I know this sounds daft but I have real problems with my back and neck due to a horse-riding accident about 5 years ago and I wonder if it could all be related.

Any advice, comments would be great

thank you x

Sorry to hear your in so much pain.My partner had tennis elbow and it was cured by having acupuncture.Have you tried alternative treatment before?It might be worth checking it out.I hope you feel better soon.

You're asking if the elbow can be related to the horse-riding accident?

I suppose it could. You might have damaged a nerve somewhere. For example, you can hurt your back, and damage a nerve, causing you to completely lose feeling in your left big toe (i know someone who's had that happen).
