Just my little .02 here. My "TENNIS ELBOW" started this past January when my clubs Bermuda grass went dormant and became rock hard. I play about 3-4 times a week at my club and warmup prior to my round to give you an idea of how much I play. Needless to say that I could play roughly 6-11 holes before the pain would cause me to hit some bad shots and at times I would have to just play 9 and head back to the clubhouse for a beer. I rested it as much as possible during the week before heading back to the club on Saturday for my morning round with the guys. Fast forward 10 months and my arm really never healed and basically got about 60% healed but I still couldn't pick up heavy things or even a wine bottle with my right hand without dropping it suddenly from the sharp pain.
During our Couples Member Guest this past November we had a DR and therapist come set up an EZ-UP and do the usual adjusting and massage stuff pre round. So I walked up to him and asked if he could do anything to help my TENNIS ELBOW that I have had for the past 10+ months, and he said "Absolutely, that is what I specialize in"! So he went to work on my arm for about 10 min with his scraping tool, massaging and even used the CUPS to get blood flow to the sore spot. I have now gone to him every week for the past 5 weeks and I can say that he has made my arm reach the 95% healed point and I played the last 2 weekends for the first time since Jan 2022 pain free!
So my point here is, I did all the YOUTUBE videos, googled everything and followed all of them and even went to my usual PT guy to work on it, and none of them made it heal. Yes it got a little better but never was I able to play a full 18 without skanking one short or sideways due to a bad and painful swing. So my advice is to find an actual Dr who specializes in this type of injury. He spends about an hour every week on my arm, and will do my other arm and my other pains while there. Best thing I have done for my golf game in years... Just my .02...
