Is it a result of tennis or the result of some other activity? I developed the condition playing golf....tells you how awful my swing was at that time...

It can take a LONG time to recover, especially if the activity that precipitated the injury is one used in every day living.

A friend had the shots, up to the maximum that could be given over time. She ended up with a surgery for repair because her life didn't allow her the time needed for healing.

Feel better.
