Lateral Epicondylitis is a common athlete’s injury. Based on what I’ve read and what my doctor told me, the cause of my tennis elbow is due to excessive, repeated movements. This could also be the reason why people who have repetitive movements (gripping and grasping) are prone to this type of injury such as tennis player, golfer, drummer, and even plumber and painter. Regardless as to whether the movements are work related or not, lateral epicondylitis may occur.

I began to have interest with tennis at the age of 7. It was really odd because all my brothers and cousins were into baseball that time and I was the only one who wanted to try tennis. Anyways, I pursued my passion. I joined our school’s tennis team and I was part of the team till college.

I immediately looked for a job after college and started working as a junior lab assistant. It was an 8-hour job, so I only had weekend to play tennis and do other stuff like swimming, watching movie with family, hanging out with friends, and so on.

8 years ago, I started feeling pain in my right elbow. I ignored it, thinking that it could get better, but it didn’t. It came to a point where I could no longer move my arm. Well, That’s the only time I thought about getting professional help and stopped relying from painkillers and anti inflammatory gels.

I never thought that getting medical help could be so confusing and difficult. My next posts will share my experiences with the medications I had and the results.

Finally, I was able to set up my own blog. I’ve been reading WordPress blogs and Blogger about Tennis and Lateral Epicondylitis. The main purpose of my blog is to share my super-epic Lateral Epicondylitis story from the moment I got it, the pain I endured, treatments that I had and their effects, and the medication I had that cured my LE completely.

I would love to share photos of me and my then-injured elbow, but I’m not sure if you guys would like to see them (lol). Well, I might… or I might not. We’ll see.
