Advice: Tennis Elbow?

[Icemaestro]

cheers for that. What's MVM?

Riding the bike at the moment is pain free which is bloody great. Picking up a big cup of coffee on my desk, ouch. I have to switch to my strong arm!

So nothing specific about the bike, which is good so far. Physio had no idea about riding a bike, happy to take his advice on the rest :-)

An MWM is a mobilisation with movement - the person applies a joint glide and then you perform the movement that is painful - should result in a marked or complete reduction in pain during the movement, and then decreased pain following treatment.

Sweet. Keep up with the eccentric strengthening exercises and you'll be sweet. Evidence base for it is pretty good.

I got Tennis elbow as well, have been resting it for three weeks now and it got a lot better. Don't put any pressure on it ie no heavy lifting for at least 3 weeks, thats what my physio told me to do and do some resistance exercises using like a rubber band. On Monday am going back to my normal training hopefully it wont come back as that is the second time it happened.

Yeah there's some good shit around, but who pays for the joint?

Fred went to the Doctor as he had a sore elbow.

He said, "Hey Doc, I've got tennis elbow, can you do summat about it?"
The Doc squinted over his glasses and said, "I make the diagnosis's around here...here, I want you to urinate in this container and I'll use my new diagnostic machine"

Fred, somewhat taken aback, did as he was told and filled the sample glass to the brim. The Doctor placed the sample under a scanner and pressed a button.
The machine scanned the piss with an unearthly green glow and promptly printed out three pages of close type which he Doctor puzzled over for a minute.

Looking up from the page, the Doc said, "You have a bad case of tennis elbow, the machine's printed out a script for voltaran and a referral to the physio.." and he handed these to Fred with a bill for $100.

"$100!" says Fred - "I bloody told you what was wrong with me!"
The Doc explained that diagnostic machines didn't come cheap, but after a short argument conceded that the charge was a bit steep in the circumstances, and finally gave Fred another sample jar and a voucher for one free use of the great diagnostic machine.

After a couple of days, Fred was still pissed off at being skinned $100 by the Doctor, and his elbow was still playing up, so he vowed revenge and came up with an elaborate scheme to get even.

He went home and firstly got his 14 year old daughter to piss in the jar. Then he got wife to add a bit of urine, and stalked the dog for a while and collected some of its urine. Then as a coup de grace, he had "one off the wrist" and added the resulting "knuckle babies' to the mixture.

Suppressing fits of laughter, he took this mixture back to the local health clinic. "Doc" he said, "I'm not feeling so hot - can ya analyse this for me?"

The Doc stuck the sample in the machine and this time the unearthly glow from the scanner lasted 10 minutes. Then a dozen A4 pages spewed out of the printer.

The Doc studied it for 10 minutes.

Finally Fred couldn't help hisself - he said "...come on then , what's wrong wid me..?"


The Doc peered over his glasses and said...

"...as far as I can tell..


your daughter's pregnant.....


um...your wife has the clap....



lesse here...


yep, yer dogs got distemper...






and if you'd didn't wank so much, you wouldn't have tennis elbow..."
