Home / Conditions / Tennis elbow
Pain on the outer side of the elbow, worst when gripping or lifting with the palm down. Almost nobody who gets it plays tennis. It settles — slowly — and the loading exercises are what do it.
These suggest something else.
Because the evidence is clear, and it goes against what most people expect.
Injection helps early and then does worse than no treatment at a year. We would rather tell you that than take your money for something that leaves you worse off twelve months later.
Often six to twelve months.
That is longer than anyone wants to hear. But it improves throughout, and the people who get better fastest are the ones doing the loading exercises consistently.
Rarely.
Surgery is for the small number still genuinely disabled after a year of proper loading exercise.
Pictures, how many and how often, and what it should feel like. Free, and printable.
In your language, free to download. Each one is a short PDF you can keep on your phone or print.
On cost: if we suggest a scan, an injection or an operation, ask us what it costs and what happens if you do nothing. We will answer both. You should never feel pushed into spending money.
Consultation is ₹500 for a first visit and ₹300 for a follow-up, the same at both clinics. For anything else, ask at the desk or on WhatsApp before it is done — we will tell you the exact cost.
A page is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If the pain is not settling, come in and have it looked at properly — bring any X-ray, MRI or CT films you already have.
