I went to the Orthopedic specialist today. I got stuck in the doctors office for two hours.
Dr. Hix swears that even after months of trying different things that it is Tennis Elbow. (You know you're getting old when your all your doctors are younger than you......& this doctor is cuuuute!)
After a discussion about why he thinks this & the REMOTE possibility that is is anything other than Tennis Elbow. we decided on another Cortisone Shot.
As many of you remember my family doctor gave me one of these months ago. That shot did not hurt much in fact it was funny to me because the lidocane made my arm numb & I laughed all the way home.
I told Dr. Hix to go ahead. I was not expecting the pain that ensued. HOLY CRAP! That was the most painfu thing I've experienced to date. AT this moment it is still throbbing like a toothache, not to mention it made my elbow three times too big.
If this works, I should be mad at all the money I've thrown at this in the interim between shots..(Physical Therapy 6 visits at about $135.00 a pop!, Thank god for insurance!) if it makes the constant pain go away, I will do a happy dance! Wish me luck.
