A member asked:

Can you accelerate the healing process of tennis elbow other than wrist exercises? do nitric oxide patches help?

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Prob. not: See your physician for further tx. Options. Usually rest from power grip activities, nsaids , ice massage , and possibly anti inflammatory cream can be helpful initially. If no improvement a local steroid or prp injection can help.Last option is tennis elbow release. I have little experience w/ Nitric Oxide patches. Good luck!
