For most sufferers of tennis elbow, medically termed lateral epicondylitis, their bodies will heal themselves. The best way to enable this body healing is to rest the elbows by eliminating the most aggravating activities.
If the pain persists for several months, surgery may be advised. Fortunately there are several options for treatment:
* trim abnormal tendons 3-4 cm
* release tendon from bone
* ossatripsy
Looks like a google answer. Haha. The three options are very different. The first two are invasive surgeries. The ossatripsy is a relatively new procedure and is not invasive.
Seriously, a friend of mine had the release surgery about 2 yrs ago. He's as good as new. As far as recovery, he thought he was doomed as there is a risk that the surgery will not cure the condition. With rest and proper physical therapy he was gtg.
Stay positive and do the PT. I hope your recovery goes well bro.
