Since treating the elbow was not feasible, we decided to add a new treatment method.

I visited an orthopedic clinic due to sudden elbow pain.
There were no particular abnormalities on the X-ray, so we decided to try physical therapy.
It seemed that I was not fully cured even after about two weeks, so I decided to combine it with shockwave therapy.

 

I started elbow treatment a while ago.
I'm not receiving any major treatment; I'm getting physical therapy about once a day or three or four times a week.
It feels fine while I'm receiving it, but after a while, I feel some pain or a sense of weakness again, so I've been getting it consistently for about two weeks.
It was better than before, but that didn't mean it was completely fine.
First, I consulted on whether to go to a larger hospital or continue with physical therapy.
I was told that continuing with physical therapy would be fine, but since I have received it for about two weeks and some pain still remains, I was suggested to try shockwave therapy.
The treatment for my elbow is taking longer than I expected, and it seems like the progress isn't improving much.
For now, since the X-rays didn't show any major issues, I plan to receive shockwave therapy on my elbow next week.
I could definitely say that I felt a little better with just physical therapy.
However, I plan to continue receiving treatment for my elbow until I no longer feel any pain.
For now, I have been receiving physical therapy until today.
Starting tomorrow, I have decided to incorporate shockwave therapy into my elbow treatment once or twice a week.
So, I decided to receive treatment for my elbow by undergoing shockwave therapy once or twice a week, combined with physical therapy in between.
They say it is because they cannot continue with just shockwaves.
They told me it would be good to receive shockwave therapy and then loosen it up with physical therapy.
Treatment starts tomorrow, and I really hope the shockwave therapy is effective for my elbow.
I still have some pain, so I am avoiding lifting heavy things and trying to live my life in a way that minimizes strain.
I hope the elbow treatment is completed as soon as possible.

    말해뭐해
    팔꿈치는 한번 아프기 시작하면 손을 쓸 때마다 자극이 가서 회복이 참 더디더라고요. 충격파 치료가 받을 때는 조금 아파도 염증 회복에는 효과가 좋으니, 물리치료랑 잘 병행하셔서 이번 기회에 통증 싹 잡으셨으면 좋겠어요!
