Smalls21 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 have you ever thought about accupuncture? I did it a couple times before my shoulder surgery, helped with the pain until my shoulder could be repaired
Ham Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 My arm is actually feeling a WHOLE lot better. I'm going to stick with stretching, meds, and ice. We'll see how it is doing after the Redfish trip. Lol. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish

Members Hays Posted February 1, 2015 Members Posted February 1, 2015 I agree with all of the recommendations for exercise and physical therapy. Having many age related soreness, stiffness and pains, I firmly believe those are the only long term solutions. My wife teaches yoga and I'm a student. It's great for strength, flexibility and balance, but of course won't cure tendonitis. It's something to consider when you're running on all eight cylinders again. Until then, I've found two things, which I don't think have been mentioned, that have helped me with pain and inflammation. The first is Voltaren Gel, a topical NSAID that from what I've read does not have many of the side effects of Aleve, etc. I'm told it's a standard locker room lotion in the NFL. You will need a prescription, but it's only about $10.00 a tube, which will go along way on an elbow. I've used it with good results on a knee and an ankle, and always have a tube around. The other product is a TENS, which provides electrical stimulation to the inflamed area. It runs on a little 9volt battery and has 4 sticky pads that you can position around the area you wanted stimulated and then run a mild electrical current between the paid. You control the area and degree of stimulation, which can be pretty substantial if you want, but is never painful. The TENS comes in variety of models and is pretty pricey - around $100. We've got one and loan it out occasionally to friends. Completely portable - about the size of a cookbook. These are a couple of things that have worked for me in the past.
