    What Is DeQuervain's Syndrome?

    Podcast cover: De Quervain's Syndrome

    Mothers and fathers get this thumb injury from picking up their babies... Gamers from their controllers... Cell phone users from too much texting – And let's not forget percussionists, golfers and anglers!

    You might think it's just a SIMPLE case of Tendonitis but it's actually a slightly more complicated tendon syndrome known as a 'Tenosynovitis.'

    In the case of DeQuervain's, one that involves two thumb tendons and the special wrappers called 'Synovial Sheaths' around them where they cross the wrist.

    • TENO refers to the tendon – (Tendons are the "ropes" which connect muscles to bones)

    • SYNOV refers to the Synovial Sheaths – (which are special protective tendon sleeves) and

    • ITIS had to do with irritation, inflammation and pain – (although inflammation is not the primary issue and is often wrongly and unfairly blamed!)

    Test yourself for it easily – If you have thumb pain but aren’t sure if it's actually De Quervain's Syndrome, try these three simple tests:

    Three quick and easy tests you can do yourself for De Quervain's

    Antibiotics And Tendon Damage

    Antibiotics And Tendon Damage

    Can antibiotics cause tendon damage? [Image of pills]

    Is there a link between certain antibiotics (and other drugs) and tendon disorders like Tennis Elbow, Golfer’s Elbow, Rotator Cuff injuries (and other tendon issues) – Or even tendon ruptures?

    Yes, there’s a class of antibiotics called ‘Fluoroquinolones’ that have been know for decades to cause various forms of tendon damage – (Cipro being the most well-known and commonly prescribed.)

    “As of July 2008, the FDA mandated that all FQ products have a black-box warning indicating an increased risk in adverse events including tendon rupture.”

    In this episode, Allen Willette, from Tennis Elbow Classroom goes into detail about these antibiotic-induced tendon injuries, including:

    • Which specific antibiotics have a risk of tendon damage

    • The other serious side effects that these drugs can cause

    • How these drugs can damage your tendons (and even joints)

    • How these injuries differ from "typical" tendon injuries

    • And thoughts on how one might recover from these injuries

    • How tears diagnosed in the first place

    • The different types of tears

    • The prospect of healing different degrees of severity and what they probably require

    • The less-invasive alternatives to surgery, including ProloTherapy, PRP and Stem Cell Therapy

    When Do You Need An MRI For Tennis Or Golfer’s Elbow?

    When Do You Need An MRI For Tennis Or Golfer’s Elbow?

    MRI for Golfer's and Tennis Elbow Podcast Cover

    When should you consider getting an MRI if you have a Golfer’s or Tennis Elbow injury?

    Allen Willette from Tennis Elbow Classroom answers this question in this podcast episode.

    Which also covers several key, related questions including:

    • Do I need an MRI to diagnose my Tennis or Golfer's Elbow?

    • When is the right time to get an MRI scan – If at all!?

    • What will the MRI tell me... what do the results actually mean?

    • And are there any good alternatives?

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI for short) is considered the “gold standard” when it comes to imaging or “seeing” what’s wrong with soft tissues.

    If there are any significant defects in your tendons the MRI will reveal these in the greatest detail now medically available.

    This is the best objective measure (although not the only measure) you can get of how severe the damage to your tendons may be…

    (Tendon damage being the essence of what Golfer’s and Tennis Elbow are.)

    But there are several things to take into consideration about if and when you really need to go to the significant trouble involved in getting an MRI

    Here's where you can go to read the accompanying article, with links to articles referenced in the episode:

    Overcoming Angler's Elbow: Fishing-Related Elbow Pain

    Overcoming Angler's Elbow: Fishing-Related Elbow Pain

    Angler's Elbow Podcast Cover Image

    Why is it that casting, reeling and other fishing motions can sometimes end up causing a lot of inner or outer elbow pain – and sometimes even debilitating tendon injuries?

    In this episode Allen Willette, of Tennis Elbow Classroom, explains the underlying causes as well as how to treat these frustrating fishing-related elbow injuries.

    Including how to avoid the common mistakes that can impede your recovery and prolong your misery.

    "The pain sometimes begins with a whisper, like the gentle 'swish' of fly line through the misty, morning air…"

    "You start to notice a minor ache or little 'pinch' at your elbow as you cast or reel, especially when you've hooked a feisty bass or rainbow…"

    "And your arm may feel heavy and tired at night after a long day on the water, perhaps with a dull, burning throb at your inner or outer elbow."

    "Is it anything to worry about? – Or just a minor nuisance? – Another sign you're getting older, perhaps? Or is this something more?"

    Tips On How To Sleep With Tennis And Golfer's Elbow Pain

    Sleeping With Tennis Elbow Podcast Cover Art

    Why Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow are so painful at night, and what you can do to help yourself sleep.

    One of the worst things about Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow is that it can sometimes hurt so much at night that it keeps you from sleeping.

    But even if your sleep isn't disrupted by pain, you may still be wondering why your elbow hurts so much first thing in the morning.

    In this podcast episode, Allen Willette from Tennis Elbow Classroom covers these two questions, as well as:

    • What's the best position to sleep in when you have Golfer's or Tennis Elbow?

    • Are there topical preparations or other treatments that can help relieve the pain and help you sleep?

    • And should you wear a brace in bed at night around your wrist or elbow – or is it better not to?

    Swimmer's Elbow

    Does Swimming Help Or HURT Tennis Elbow?

    Let's talk about swimmer's, Golfer's and Tennis Elbow.

    Hi this is Allen Willette with the Tennis Elbow Classroom podcast.

    Whether you developed an injury swimming and think of it as “Swimmer's Elbow”…

    OR you developed a Tennis Elbow or Golfer's Elbow injury some other way – but happen to love to swim…

    I'm guessing there are probably two or three key questions on your mind: First off:

    1. Is swimming bad for Tennis or Golfer's Elbow?Does it cause or aggravate it?
    2. Secondly: Could swimming possibly be a good rehab exercise for your Tennis or Golfer's Elbow? – (Especially if swimming wasn't what caused it in the first place)
    3. And, lastly: Should you STOP swimming until your injury heals? – (Especially if swimming IS what caused your injury in the first place)

    So, let's dig right into the question of whether swimming causes or aggravates Tennis Elbow... (Listen to the podcast episode above or...)

    Do Topical Tennis Elbow Treatments Rub You The Right Way?

    Do Topical Tennis Elbow Treatments Rub You The Right Way?

    Podcast Cover for Topical Tennis Elbow Treatments

    Do Lotions, Creams And Sprays Help Your Tennis Elbow Heal?

    Lotions, sprays and medicated gels are often used to relieve the pain of Tennis and Golfer's Elbow...

    But can these topical remedies actually help your injured tendons heal – or are they more likely to just rub you the wrong way?

    This is Allen Willette with another episode of the Tennis Elbow Classroom podcast…

    And I certainly get it that when your Golfer's or Tennis Elbow is screaming bloody murder...

    And you can barely lift your coffee mug without stabbing pain in your elbow, (much less your tennis racket, golf clubs or leaf blower)... 

    You may desperately need some relief, so you buy some cream, spray or gel and rub it in… Presto! Instant relief!

    Great idea, right? Well, maybe, maybe not!

    At best, you may get some temporary relief from your symptoms with little or no downside…

    But, here's the thing… although you could reasonably expect a cream or salve to help protect your skin as it heals from a cut or abrasion...

    You can't realistically expect something you put on your skin to help your Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow injury heal faster… Okay, so, why not?

    Do You Have Pickleball Elbow?

    Do You Have Pickleball Elbow?

     

     

    Pickleball Elbow Podcast Cover

    If you play Pickleball and are starting to experience pain in your elbow area, look out! You may be coming down with a case of “Pickleball Elbow!”

    Hi, this is Allen Willette with the Tennis Elbow Classroom podcast, and I want to help you get off on the right track, understanding and treating your Pickleball injury whether it's your inner or outer elbow that's hurting – and whether it's Tennis Elbow or Golfer's Elbow.

    Because, if you have a tendon injury in your elbow area, it's most likely going to end up being classified as either Tennis or Golfer's Elbow.

    And I'd like to help you avoid the myths, and misconceptions and all the mistakes based on them – mistakes which derail a lot of sufferers and cause them a great deal of unnecessary suffering.

    It's no joke! One of my student/members who plays Pickleball in Arizona (where the sport is apparently VERY popular) recently told me that half the people he plays with are experiencing elbow pain!

    Well, maybe not HALF – but a large percentage of Pickleball players are either among the walking wounded, all wrapped up in braces or bands – or they're dropping out of matches like flies.

    Why are so many players getting injured?...

    Dry Needling For Tennis Elbow

    Dry Needling For Tennis Elbow

    Podcast Cover: Dry Needling For Treating Tennis Elbow

    Dry Needling is a treatment for Tennis Elbow, Golfer's Elbow and other conditions that involves repeatedly sticking a needle into tissues (usually muscles or tendons) which are not healing properly in the hopes of stimulating a healing response.

    Or for the purpose of "deactivating" highly-irritable, pain-causing spots in muscles, known as a 'Trigger Points.'

    The needle in question can be either a Medical Hypodermic needle – (which is used in this case to penetrate the tissues but without injecting anything)...

    OR it can be an Acupuncture needle, which is often referred to as 'Trigger Point Dry Needling' or 'Intramuscular Stimulation' (IMS) and which is a much more common practice.

    It seems unfortunate, though, that the term Dry Needling has come to refer to two very different treatments – utilizing two very different types of needles...

    After all, there's a very big difference between a thin, filament Acupuncture needle and a Medical Hypodermic Syringe!

    So, in this episode, I'm going to cover separately what I think should be considered two distinct treatments.

    The 3 Key Principles Of Tennis Elbow Rehab Exercise

    The 3 Key Principles Of Tennis Elbow Rehab Exercise

    Are you looking for which exercises to do when you have Tennis Elbow – And which exercises are best?

    You're in the right place – But let me ask you this, first: Are you sure it's the right time to begin those exercises?

    Because, I have to tell you, there IS a right time and a wrong time to begin your Tennis Elbow rehab exercises!

    And I'd to help you avoid the common mistake of starting them at the wrong time – Or in the wrong order, because it can make a huge difference to your healing and recovery!

    So, let's talk about three key principles – that you won't likely hear anywhere else:

    • Why Tennis Elbow Rehab Exercises are NOT the top priority – in the beginning of your healing process,

    • How and why starting those Exercises right away often aggravates the injury,

    • WHAT the BEST Exercise to begin your Tennis Elbow rehab IS (when it is time to start)

    • (And why that exercise is NOT actually Wrist Extension)

    So, put down those weights, bands or rubber bars for a minute – and let's reconsider this thing.

    Because after 15 years of experience in treating Tennis Elbow and coaching people online, I've seen WAY too many people get these 3 things wrong…

    (along with all the other treatment mistakes, like taking pills, icing, wearing a brace and getting Cortisone Shots)

    Is Acupuncture Effective For Treating Tennis Elbow?

    Is Acupuncture Effective For Treating Tennis Elbow?

    Acupuncture For Tennis Elbow Podcast Cover

    Is Acupuncture an effective treatment when it comes to encouraging the healing process of Tennis Elbow?...

    Or is it simply a way to temporarily relieve some of the pain and other symptoms of Tennis and Golfer's Elbow?

    Allen Willette tackles this question in this episode of the Tennis Elbow Classroom podcast.

    There does seem to be evidence that Acupuncture can reduce the pain of Tennis Elbow...

    Acupuncture can generally alleviate many kinds of pain, after all.

    And, in that sense, it's certainly a much safer, healthier choice than anti-inflammatory pills and Cortisone shots...

    But the larger question is: Can Acupuncture actually help a Tennis Elbow injury heal?

    Who Are The True Tennis Elbow Experts?

    Who Are The True Tennis Elbow Experts?

    Who are the true experts and authorities when it comes to the treatment of Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow?

    Would they be general practice Doctors? Orthopedic Surgeons? Physical Therapists, perhaps?

    Or could they be the practitioners who exclusively work on muscles and tendons by hand: Massage Therapists and other Bodyworkders?

    Allen Willette examines this question in this episode of the Tennis Elbow Classroom podcast.

    Tennis Elbow Supplements: Helpful For Healing Or Waste Of Money?

    Tennis Elbow Supplements: Helpful For Healing Or Waste Of Money?

    Supplements for Tennis and Golfer's Elbow

    Are there any supplements, including vitamins or herbal remedies for Tennis Elbow or Golfer's Elbow that will help relieve your pain and support your healing process or are they a complete waste of time and money?

    It's a question I'm often asked by my members in the forum – and in my practice treating Tennis Elbow sufferers directly.

    Many people want to avoid toxic anti-inflammatory pills – for very good reasons, and they're looking for natural alternatives for both pain relief AND to support their healing process.

    The problem is that desperate Tennis and Golfer's Elbow sufferers tend to get a little carried away seeking remedy…

    And there's no shortage of claims on the Internet (some bordering on the miraculous) about all kinds of vitamins, supplements or herbal concoctions – including:

    • Basic Vitamins: A, B, C and D
    • “Anti-Inflammatory” Herbs: Ginger, Turmeric, Bromelain
    • MSM, Chondrotin and Glucosamine
    • Fish Oil / Veg-based Omega-3 Oils
    • And Collagen Supplements

    Sadly, the short answer is that most of these things, beyond basic vitamins, are pointless and a waste of money, for various reasons we explore in this episode...

    (At least when it comes to healing tendon injuries like Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow. Not necessarily for other problems.)

    REFERENCE – Quoted in the video:

    “Vitamin D plays a significant role in the tendon-to-bone healing process by increasing the bone mineral density and strengthening the skeletal muscles.”

    Vitamin D And The Immunomodulation Of Rotator Cuff Injury

    This study has to do with the Rotator Cuff tendons of the shoulder, and how they need to heal and form strong attachments to the bone after surgery…

    But the same principle may apply to Tennis or Golfer's Elbow, because we're dealing with a similar 'tendon attachment' at our elbows.

    Why Self Massage Is Key When Treating Your Own Tennis Elbow

    Why Self Massage Is Key When Treating Your Own Tennis Elbow

    Discover why advanced Massage Therapy techniques are the best way to treat your own Tennis Elbow or Golfer's Elbow injury.

    Learn about the most powerful self-massage methods to use from a professional Neuromuscular Therapist, who treats these injuries every day.

    Here's a quote from the episode:

    I truly believe Advanced Massage Therapy Techniques are the “Missing Link” when it comes to treating the true, underlying causes of Tennis Elbow…

    And reversing that stubborn, vicious injury cycle that few things can touch. (Literally, few things TOUCH at ALL, except, possibly in the most superficial way.)

    Because nothing else physically “get's into” the muscle and tendon “issues in the tissues,” at the root of the injury better...

    Nothing else releases the tension and restrictions in your muscles and stimulates tendon healing like the right Massage Therapy methods can...

    (Again, in my opinion, but based on a lot of experience.)
