Developed tennis elbow from using a walking stick and has had to stop using it.

 



You mentioned earlier that you'd had problems with a tennis elbow?

Yes, tennis elbow seemed to be I think it was caused by the walking stick. I was using a walking stick quite a lot and I was putting a lot of pressure on my right hand side and I started to get shooting pains in my elbow and so I moved it to the other side the walking stick and I started getting pains in that elbow as well like and I got physiotherapy for that and that seemed to go away and I moved back to my right hand side and it's just the weight leaning on the arm constantly. 

All day, every time I was walking I was mostly using the walking stick when I was outside and that just caused problems as well. And it's been there for about four months now. That's a bit annoying, I'm waiting for physiotherapy for that but I mean you can wait six months for physiotherapy, to actually get the treatment and by that time it's either away or it's got really worse. So I'm having to try and walk without the walking stick now so I can't walk as far as I would.
