Elbow Pain
If you’re currently suffering from elbow pain, it is tempting to think that your symptoms will resolve on their own with a bit of rest. However, you find yourself using your “good arm” more, which in turn affects your neck and shoulders.
You might have fallen on your arm or hurt it when lifting something heavy or doing a repetitive movement (such as painting).
Or it might be that you’ve simply woken up with pain and now can hardly lift the kettle.
Rest assured that you are not alone. In fact, elbow pain is something that we see a lot in our Physiotherapy clinic in Martlesham, Ipswich. Countless clients visit us each week with similar frustrations.
If You Are Currently Living With Elbow Pain, Here’s 6 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
1. You Waited For The Pain To Go Away, Resting It For A Long Time,
Yet the pain is now back with a vengeance and you are now stiffer, less mobile and certainly less happy.
2. You Visited The GP To Be Prescribed Painkillers.
Yet once they wore off the pain returned and it is now making your health suffer and making you feel low in mood.
3. You’ve Stop Doing Your Normal Activities And/Or Have Been On Light Duties At Work.
Yet it is still not getting better, and now you are weaker and stiffer than you were before.
4. You Have Tried Some Massage Hoping It Would Fix The Pain, Which Was Relaxing.
However it didn’t do anything in the long term to fix the issue.
5. You’ve Tried Ice and Heat
But you’re not sure which one is best, and didn’t find either one particularly useful.
6. You’ve Tried Other Healthcare Providers.
But nothing they said or did seemed to help resolve the problem long term.
