Oh what a nightmare this condition is and how controversial is it’s treatment! Everyone swears that their way will work. But we know thats not the case and one line of treatment doesn’t work for everyone. So what does work the best? In the severe, acute, inflammatory phase I am a big fan of a steroid injection – its what I had when mine was bad and it worked brilliantly. But if it comes back or is chronic the probably using GTN patches topically to increase blood flow to the degenerate tendon and allow it to grow back to normal is the best solution. See the Tennis Elbow section for more details.
