I just got diagnosed with tendonitis in my left elbow after 6 measly weeks back with the weights. I went to an ortho today and he basically told me that I am exibiting the very early stages of tendonitis/Tennis elbow in my left arm. He prescribed me anti inflammatories and gave me a script for 4 weeks of physical therapy. He said I could continue to lift, however I could do no exercises that require me to tightly grip a bar...I.E. I have to keep an open hand for all exercise....WTF over??
Have any of you had tendonitis/tennis elbow??
Is the physical therapy worth my time??
Will this condition go away permanently or will it simply return once my workouts become intense again??
It's funny because my arm does not hurt during my workouts. After the workout is over is when the elbow area becomes uncomfortable and I can tell something is just not right.
At this point im pretty bummed and im questioning weather or not I should continue to lift weights due to one goddamn nagging injury after another.
My initial PT consultation is Friday, so im going to just wait and see what the physical therapist has to say. I look forward to any and all of your responses bro's.
TIA
