Hi, has anyone had to deal with tennis/golfers elbow with RA? I have both of them in both my elbows.
It’s worsened with any pulling or lifting. My Dr suggested steroid injections in both of them. I suspect it’s from my RA not being well controlled with the Xeljanz I’m taking. It’s been worsening since I was taken off my Actemra infusions a year ago. I also have tendinitis in both of my feet and one of my Achilles’ tendons. Thanks.
I had that back in 2009. My physical therapist, after months of treatment for those and Achilles tendon, suggested that I get tested for RA. And thats how it all began. 😟
I have nerve pain in my right (cubical tunnel) elbow that shoots down into my hand, which causes numbness in my hand my pinky and ring finger are permanently bent, in my left elbow I now have tennis elbow that pain is so extreme at times I'm now on diclofenac 50 mg up to 2 tablets a day plus gabapentin (up to 900mg a day) plus my ENBREL 50mg injection as well as Rasuvo 22 mg injection
My RA was in control up to 2 years ago when I got sick with a kidney infection and now it's been out of control since
Update: I had my right elbow injected with steroid last week with relief of the golfers elbow( was the most symptomatic) but now I notice how much my left elbow is hurting. Will see about having that one injected too. Thanks everyone for the answers/replies.
They did, but my right elbow has been hurting lately.
@A myRAteam Member, thanks for the info. My RA symptoms started with what I called my wandering tendinitis. Started in my Lt wrist then progressed to my elbow then shoulder then the same thing happened on the Rt side. Took awhile and several other symptoms before my GP put it all together. Have the issues with tennis elbow and Achilles settled with RA treatment?
