...has been aching for the last 5 weeks now. Just woke up one morning and it was killing me.
Dot got the blame for triggering it off as she had been sleeping over my arm but it could easily have been too many preacher curls with the dumbells.
Finally got round to going to the drop-in Physio's at work. They were brilliant with me last year when I had a back problem.
Straight away, she diagnosed Tennis elbow. Suggested a special strapping with a pressure pad that goes over the muscle, unfortunatly, she said the person in their dept. who does all the ordering hadnt a clue about what they needed or how to go about it properly (sounds familiar) so wrote down for me what to ask at Boot's for.
Still, it was nice to get a diagnosis and as its affecting my movement and infringing on my work they've moved me up the waiting list for more attention.
Got the strapping from Boot's - £18.89 for a dod of velcro with a wee pressure pad.
Thank fuck for Boot's store cards with enough points saved up to cover the cost of the thing.
The dull ache part of it is still there but the sharp pains just arn't quite so bad.
