hi ronnie,
i wrote to you a couple of weeks ago about pain in my arms. Well, i went to see my doctor 2 days ago, because it was getting so painfull (even when training with lighter weights) and she has diagnosed me with tennis elbow in both arms. She has prescribed me some diclofenac which seems to be working already, but i can only take for a month. She has also offered me a cortizone injection in both arms if the problem persists after the course of diclofenac. My question is: What do you think of cortizone injections for tennis elbow?do not allow her to do a cortisone shot as it will weaken the tendon and cause possible rupture..the best combo for treating tendonitus is rest ( lay off offending exercises), deca 400 mgs per week, use dmso daily..you need the strong dmso used on horses as it contains more aspirin. It smells bad but it works,use tendon brace while training... I have read different opinions already regarding the pro's and con's and really wanted you thoughts as to how i should proceed.
To help you in your conclusion, here is some basic info:
I'm 41 years old and this injury stops or reduces the amount of effort i'm able to put into certain excersises, like, wide grip pulldowns, bent over d/bell rows, hammer curls, reverse curls, or any other curl, side raises, front raises. Does not effect any pressing excersises. Apart from this injury, i would consider myself to be in good health.
Many thanks as always.

Ronnie, What is DMSO?

Ronnie, What is DMSO?

"Dimethyl-Sulfoxide, or DMSO for short, is a substance that is well known in veterinary circles. First and foremost it is much appreciated for its superior ability to calm swellings, relieve inflammation, and even help when spinal and head trauma are involved, simply because DMSO penetrates the animal’s skin quickly and in sufficient amounts to assist in the healing. Horse owners swear by it to treat founder and to reduce arthritic symptoms in their animals."
