    ► Why inflammation is not the cause or problem with Tennis Elbow
    ► Why Tennis Elbow isn't actually a form of “Tendonitis”
    ► And why most Tennis Elbow sufferers need to ignore the ADVICE to ICE (or R.I.C.E.)
    “Whether you use ice or heat on your Tennis Elbow or Golfer's Elbow depends on whether your priority is healing or simply pain relief…”
    (So, if your priority is healing in the long run - rather than short-term pain relief - you may want to rethink the ice and choose heat instead.)

    I found that heat relieves my TE pain and ice makes it feel worse so I started ignoring the ice advice and opting for the heat. I'm glad to hear that I was right. I also stopped doing exercises to "strengthen my arm muscles" and opted for resting my arm. After 3 months of pain, it's almost gone after doing this for only a couple of weeks.

    This worked for me after months of tennis elbow. I made a sleeve out of a tube sock. Covered the area, forearm and lower triceps with deep heat and covered my whole arm with the sleeve. Mid forearm to half way up my bicep. It burns. Once I felt the heating go away. Did it again. Slept with the sleeve on. It went from very painful, just straightening my arm to barely noticeable even after work out. If I don't do this, it comes back. From lifting weights. If I do, it stays away.

    After 2 months, I still don't have any swelling at all with my tennis elbow. Yes, I understand that many believe that the lack of swelling in tennis elbow likely means that it is not an inflammatory process. But is it still possible to have an ongoing inflammatory process for months without having any swelling? Is that *possible* ? Or does the lack of swelling after two months completely rule out an inflammatory process?

    • @TennisElbowClassroom
      @TennisElbowClassroom  Рік тому +1

      It's a very rare thing to have any noticeable, visible swelling with Tennis Elbow. Sometimes the tendon will have some signs of swelling on an MRI but you won't normally see it - as in looking at your elbow and seeing puffiness. (Swelling / edema is the accumulation of fluid / lymph / plasma, to be clear. It is not a sensation.) So, yes, lack of VISIBLE swelling does not mean there is absolutely no inflammatory process going on. There SHOULD be some inflammation any time you have tissue that has been injured and is now in that stage of the healing process.

    Whats the acute injury called when it is swollen?

    • @TennisElbowClassroom
      @TennisElbowClassroom  Рік тому

      That is sometimes called Tendonitis - In that case, when you have acute injury and associated inflammation and swelling the "ITIS" suffix is fitting - but it's not the standard, by any means. Most cases of Tennis and Golfer's Elbow do not involve either acute trauma, swelling or inflammation (except sometimes in the earliest stages) The vast majority of cases, once chronic, (6 weeks or longer) don't involve significant inflammation. (Burning pain is not specific to inflammation, by the way.)

      I didn't miss that. First and foremost, ice is a vasoconstrictor and after that you get some vasodilation on "the rebound" - but look into what Dr. Gabe Mirkin (the Doctor who coined the RICE acronym in the 70s) says now. He has completely reversed his position and has even written a book against icing. Other Sports Medicine experts like Gary Reinl agree. Here's Reinl's site and his book, which includes a foreword from Mirkin: www.garyreinl.com/iced.html

    I understand why you would want your body to respond to an inflammatory process and not ice (restrict the blood flow).
    But if tennis elbow is *NOT* an inflammatory process, what is the harm of icing?
    And if tennis elbow is *NOT* an inflammatory process, why then does icing (restricting blood circulation) provide pain relief? 🤔

    • @TennisElbowClassroom
      @TennisElbowClassroom  Рік тому

      First see other reply... There may be some inflammation in the early stages of Tennis Elbow (6 weeks - maybe 2-3 months) as your body attempts to heal your tendon, but with chronic Tennis Elbow (6 weeks + generally) that healing process is failing. The longer this persists the more the tendon tends to slip into a state of degeneration - the OPPOSITE of inflammation and healing. The harm of icing is that inflammation is necessary and normal and you don't want to suppress it - you want to allow it - and sometimes you even need to encourage it! Look up and read all the medical explanations about how PRP, Prolotherapy, Tenex and TenJet procedures work, in theory (all forms of Tenotomy) you will see how they are trying to reverse the degenerative process (and heal smaller tears, in some cases) by causing "new" trauma and triggering a new healing response, which begins with inflammation.
