I came by it honestly, playing tennis 4 times a week. I have a history of TMS neck, back, dizziness. What makes me wonder if it is TMS..... I used it hard and people get tennis elbow. What makes me think it is TMS.....I haven't played tennis for a month and it is worse. I am now thinking it started as tendonitis but TMS has now invaded and won't let it heal. Any thoughts on this? I would like to hear from people who have conquered tennis elbow. Thank you for your help.

I play tennis and had tennis elbow about 8 years ago. I had it for a year, before I knew about TMS. I tried everything except cortisone shots. Then I applied the TMS principles and I no longer have it. It has at times tried to come back. I yell at it and then ignore it and play on. I play tennis about 4X a week. As far as the concept of "overuse" injuries, I once read that if anything, use of a muscle makes it stronger not weaker. So I no longer believe in "overuse."
Good luck. Hope you are back on the court soon. |

| Sarno says in "Healing Back Pain" that with the modern metal racquets, there is much less vibration than the old wooden ones, thus less chance of injury. He thought tennis elbow was TMS. |

| Most of the Amish people in Lancaster, Pennsylvania are farmers. They do all their works by hands without any modern tools all their life and I have never heard of an Amish with a "farmer's elbow". |

My mom has been a tennis teacher/coach/ranked player for about 30 years. She's told me many times over the years that tennis elbow is extremely rare, and generally the result of real, fundamental problems with the swing. In other words, if you're swinging anywhere near correctly... in theory, there shouldn't be tennis elbow. That's just her theory.

My brother and mother both had diagnoses of 'tennis elbow', having played about twice in their life. My brother also had a diagnosis of 'Housemaid's Knee' (aka Prepatellar bursitis) which all made us laugh, him having spent little time as a teenager scrubbing floors.
Make of that what you will!
