There is pain toward
the top of the elbow which is called tennis elbow and then there is pain
from the bottom of the elbow which is called golfers elbow, almost in
the same place as your funny bone.
My
golfers elbow pain was brought on by making fine jewelry, so I gave
that a rest, but the pain did not go away, it hurts when I do any sort
of cleaning, wiping or scrubbing things and when I chop up vegies and in
other ways too.
For
the past week or so I have been crocheting like mad to get some orders
out and when I went to scrub up a couple of spills that my grand
daughter Cindy had made, the pain had lessened!
For
the first time in months it was not as painful to scrub and the only
thing different I had been doing was more crochet than usual.
The crocheting movements must be working the affected are in my elbow.
Hubby
has been nagging me to go to physio, but I was just putting up with it
as physio costs money and time and I hate anti inflammatory medication.
Lesson learned?
Crocheting is great physiotherapy for golfers elbow.
Benefits?
Save money, time and not having to take any nasty medication.

Crochet Rocks!
