Had the tennis elbow fixed Friday. In a full arm cast at this point. The surgeon said it was a mess in there and 1/3 of the tendons were detached already and the rest were mush. So, he just removed the rest off the bone and cut out all the mush. Sounds strange but that is all they can do for it. I will lose a little strength in that forearm but the pain should be gone if things heal well.
So my advice to all of you is this, if you start to get elbow pain don't ignore it and just think you will work through it, because you may do what i did and get permanent damage.
Moosie, i asked the doc to take pictures of the surgery but he said it is hard to see the detail of things.
