Be The Best Of YOU

Nearly 90% of sufferers find relief of their tennis elbow symptoms without the need for invasive surgery. The key to a healthy recovery from tennis elbow is to take the necessary time away from the aggravating activity to give the area time to heal.

A common mistake of many tennis elbow patients face is returning to normal activity before the elbow tendons and soft tissue have had a chance to fully heal. Normally, first-time tennis elbow patients are ready to begin rehabilitation after about 6 weeks while chronic suffers may need 2 full months or more. Again, the key is not to rush jumping back into activity. The longer you give the area to heal, the better your chances of a full recovery with no relapses. Only after the area is healed can you start a program of exercises, therapy, and rehabilitation to strengthen the area before finally returning to normal activity.

When to begin Tennis Elbow Rehabilitation:

The key to successful rehabilitation is to begin the tennis elbow exercises therapy only after the area is free of pain throughout the entire normal range of motion. This process can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 2 months or more depending on your age and length of the condition (in other words, the longer treatment is postponed, the longer the recovery can take). Age can also be a factor, with older patients taking longer to get to the point where strengthening exercises can be reintroduced. The critical point is to wait until the area is pain-free throughout the entire range of motion.

Exercises, Therapy and Rehabilitation

Exercises and therapy to build elbow-stabilizing strength should begin in a slow and steady manner. At first, take every precaution to ensure the area is not reaggravated. Focus on proper technique and do not push too hard. The key is to build-up strength and flexibility slowly, and err on the side of a slow and steady recovery to minimize the risk of reinjuring the tendons and soft tissue of the elbow.

The rehabilitation period is a good time to reexamine your equipment and technique to minimize the risk of future problems. Schedule a lesson several weeks out to focus on improving your technique to minimize the risk of future injury or irritation to the elbow. Poor technique, and improper equipment choices, are common causes of tennis elbow. The rehabilitation period is a good time to examine these often overlooked aspects of your game.

Want a cure for not only menopausal symptoms but also protection for your memory, heart and bones?  Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was once thought to be the answer, but it is now known that the benefits may not outweigh the risks.  A lot of things factor into, and sometimes limit, the risks of HRT-like age and health status.  There are so many studies to consider and so many variations to factor in, it is hard to find the answers you are looking for.

For some people, the answer to whether or not to go on HRT is not hard – If you have a personal or family history of breast cancer, or if you have cardiovascular disease, don’t take hormones.  For those who do not have these risks, the decision can be less clear.

Before starting HRT, there are some natural things that can be used to ease symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes.  Some of these natural therapies include the herb black cohosh, traditional Chinese medicine, and relaxation methods (yoga, breath work).

In healthy women HRT can relieve severe menopausal symptoms even if natural approaches have not been effective.  If you are considering HRT, there are different options that you can consider.  Bioidentical hormones have a similar molecular structure to the hormones produced by a woman’s body.  It has not been proven that these are any safer than synthetic brands, but some patients seem to have fewer side effects when the hormones are bioidentical.  These are sold as estrogen under brands such as Vivelle, Estrace, and Climara and progesterone under Prometrium.

Hormone Replacement Therapy has also been known to cause post-menopausal bleeding.  The uterine lining, which is sensitive to the estrogen that promotes the growth of the endometrium, become thinner and more prone to bleeding, especially after sexual intercourse.  Usually by manipulation and alteration of the hormone regimen, this type of bleeding can be controlled.

No matter what type of HRT you decide to use, you can ask your physician to prescribe the lowest effective dose and stay on it for a short time only.  After about one year of use, you may be able to be weaned off altogether.

In the United States, the average age at which menopause occurs naturally, is 51, but it can begin as early as 40 and as old as age 60.  In addition, medical treatments such as chemotherapy and total hysterectomy can induce menopause.
