One excellent: option is acupuncture. This is a condition that is fairly common for an acupuncturist. Take care.

Tennis elbow: Lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow is a common overuse injury to the elbow. Have you tried couterforce bracing? If conservative treatment has failed consider cortisone/prp injections, both are very effective.

Corticosteroid: If an orthopedic surgeon diagnosed this as tennis elbow and it is still quite symptomatic, I would consider a cortisone shot into the area. Discuss this with your physician.

Prolotherapy: Prolotherapy or Regenerative Injection Therapy or 1 of its variants like PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections cause the body to repair the injured tendon.Another idea is neuroprolotherapy to quiet nerves in the area, increase their ability to stimulate nutrition & repair (trophism) of the tendon.Athletes all over the world are using these methods more and more.Osteopathic manipulation may help.
