When Do You Need An MRI For Tennis Elbow Or Golfer’s Elbow?

If you have a bad case of Tennis Elbow or Golfer’s Elbow, at what point should you get an MRI? - tenniselbowclassroom.com/what...
Allen Willette from Tennis Elbow Classroom answers this question in this podcast-style video.
And these related, key questions, including:
► Do I need an MRI to diagnose my Golfer's or Tennis Elbow?
► When IS the right time to get an MRI - If at all!?
► What will an MRI scan tell me?
► And what to the results actually mean?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI for short) is the gold standard when it comes to imaging or “seeing” what’s wrong with soft tissues.
If there are any significant defects in your tendons, the MRI will reveal these in the greatest detail currently available in medicine.
(Defects can include abnormal thickening, Tendinosis, Tendonitis, bone spurs, calcification and tears.)
This is the best objective measure (although not the only measure) you can get of how severe the damage to your tendons may be…
However, not all sufferers of these elbow tendon dysfunctions need to go to this advanced measure.

I’m a member and your techniques helped my golfers elbow. Do you have any advice about how to apply those techniques to peroneal ankle tendonitis?

[@DonaldGaron]

Is it possible to remove all of the scar tissue from an old muscle injury? In my case, the flexor carpi radialis muscle of my forearm; just above the tendon AND also my quad muscle - I got partial tears on both of thse muscles in the past. I use your therapy program, exercises and fibrinolytic systemic enzymes (Fibrenza).
It's annoying to have a muscle with adhesions that you have to regularly release + the fact that it can get injured more easily than other muscles. I'd rather be able to live my life and having to keep doing the release techniques over a long period of time, but it'd be great to have to worry less about that old injury.

I have golfer's elbow for over a year and i tried all pills and creams and shockwaves and stretches and exercises is there any hope for me to heal completely?

[@TennisElbowClassroom]

Sure there's hope. Time has little to do with it and most treatments are worthless. Of course, unless you've had an MRI or other scan, like a Sonogram / Diagnostic Ultrasound, you don't have any objective measure of how bad your tendon really is. Time suffered and degree of pain do not tell you what your severity of injury is.
I have a program that might be a good fit for you but if you feel you need some measure of how bad your injury is, you could try to get a Sonogram. You might have to go to an Orthopedist for that, depending on what country you're in, but that's a lot easier and cheaper than an MRI, as I believe I mention in the video.

If I can own guns I shouldn’t need permission to get an MRI
