    Oh poor pink, I really feel for you. I had tennis elbow in both and sometimes the pain and swelling in them is worse than my arthritis pain.

    All the best of luck. Please keep us updated. x

    Is it the same as tennis elbow? I had this with both mine, many years before I was diagnosed with R.A.

    That got worse each month until they stuck at some awful angle. I felt like a monkey when I walked about. They were always sore,painful and inflamed and would keep me awake at nights.

    I would love to have had an operation as I had to give up my gymnastics as each time I tried to swing on the bars it was agony and they would get a worse bend on them.

    They have improved since I started on anti TNF and although they cannot weight bear they are much straighter and less painful.

    I really hope an operation will help with the awful pain.

    Best wishes

    Soory to hear this Pink.

    Am I right in thinking that golfers elbow is like tennis elbow, only affecting the other side of the joint? Either way, I am sure it is not pleasant and hope you can get it sorted.

    Tillyxxx
