Oh Wrinklie - I'm sorry to hear of your troubles!

Out of cricket for a few weeks you say? Better let a 'proper batsman' look after the Dynadrive then

Do you know of any he can lend it to then Fattus??

Doctor diagnosed as carpel tunnel, anti-inflammatory tablets been given. So just a waiting game to see if it clears up

Forget doctors and physios. Waste of time. Especially doctors. They will recommend surgery as the first option because they generally have very little clue when it comes to sports related injuries. I have spent my life treating/managing my own injuries and advising our customers. We see a lot of tennis elbow, wrist and forearm injuries. You can treat all soft tissue injuries yourself. There are a number of machines on the market that treat soft tissue injuries more effectively than any treatment you can receive from a physio. Apologies to any physios out there but it's true. I have an APS therapy machine which helped me overcome a chronic back injury that no doctors or physios were able to fix in a satisfactory way Their solution was to stop running/playing sport (I am talking about half a dozen different physios/doctors). The APS machine fixed the problem (a chronic injury that had been with me for 5 years) in 1 day!!!!
Short of spending $1000 on one of these machines the next best thing I have used is Rocktape. It is inexpensive and effective. Try it before you waste money on any more doctors. There is a taping method for tennis elbow and for carpel tunnel. Try it!!!

Wilkie my good friend sorry to hear about your bad luck!as for the comment above they won't want to do surgery unless that's a final option, do your best to rest and do what the doctor says to you! It's killing me not playing cricket but gotta think of the long run!

Alternatively listen to your doctor, possibly get put on the NHS's 3 year waiting list and let them slice you up mate, from a couple of people I know who've had it done, the surgery is really worth it if it's required!

Dr's know best.

I missed the 2010 season through knee surgery matey so know how you feel about missing the game. Worth it though, and ensure you do the recovery exercises properly!! Don't skive them as they will help you in the long run.

Steyn has a elbow problem, he tapes his arms up so you could try that in the short term.

If you do that, don't buy the �1.35 a roll with free shipping tape from china, it's about as sticky as toilet roll! Probably worth spending a bit more and getting the decent stuff if you decide to go down that road.

Quite agree. I don't think there is actually any evidence (medically) that it does any good but placebo effect is powerful

My mother's a doctor as well as an alternative therapist and swears by kinesiotape. Along with acupuncture, it's helped clear up a minor case of tennis elbow, a frozen shoulder and continues to support my dodgy knee

As i said, people believe it works and even without medical evidence it can be enough to help. Worth a shot.

Well, back in the same position again, with it getting worse, and waiting to go back to the doctors. Absolute pain in the balls

FattusCattus · « **Reply #25 on:** April 07, 2014, 11:08:55 AM »

I'm not entirely sure that is where the pain is supposed to be Thomas!

If you have a painful, tingling sensation down there, that may be something entirely different - you haven't mixed up the Immac with the shower gel again have you?

wilkie113 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 07, 2014, 11:11:37 AM »

Pain isn't in my genitals Bruce, it is in my bastarding arms!

I had very bad tennis elbow a few years ago to the point I couldn't hold a cup, let alone hold my bat. A friend is an acupuncturist and went to her for a course of 3 treatments. Took about a month to complete and about a further month for it to clear up. Seemed odd to have needles put in your back and feet to sort your elbow, but it worked and I've never had it since. Certainly worth a try.

Shuld really change the title, I have carpel tunnel mate

Are you a pregnant woman?

this can be operated on to cure (just ask a load of Mum's who have suffered with it...)
