I Am Going To Have To Give Up Playing Badminton

[Tilly2]

I have golfer's elbow! :-(

[Old_Geezer]

That sounds rough. Have you been using the wrong club ?

[douglas9401]

Oddly enough I had to give up playing golf due to a particularly nasty case of shuttlecock.

[Old_Geezer]

Did you misunderstand what the ball cleaner was for ?

[Tilly2]

Thanks for the sympathy, chaps! :-)

I could do with some support.

Have a look at this link, Tilly, you might find some of the "treatments" helpful - following the PRICE principles. Rather than "give up" you may be able to manage to play badminton in moderation . . . until you become fully fit again!

For a while OG, right up until the club pro put me straight on the rights and wrongs of my niblick.

I'm sure you aren't supposed to wash dirty balls in the sink Geezer.

[Tilly2]

Thank you for that, Flonska.

[douglas9401]

Aye, ease off a bit for a few weeks doing gentle exercises in the meantime.
I had to give the badders a rest years ago because of what I thought were dodgy knees.
Three visits to a sports physio, ultrasound, heat treatment and regular knee bends for two months and I've never looked back.

On reflection I should probably have asked him to look at my neck too, save carrying my complicated rear-view mirror system everywhere. :-)

(The first bit is true)

[Tilly2]

I know very little about golf, so I can't join in the chat. Feel a bit of a divot, really.

Magnets, Tilly......wrap a band of magnets around your elbow.....x

Just as long as you have not been "putting" it about Tills, it will clear up. :))

[Tilly2]

I'm not playing this week, Douglas. I'll see how it goes. Thank you.

[Tilly2]

Where will I find a band of magnets, Gness?

Togo, my putting it about days are over!

[gness]

Google magnet therapy, Tilly.....I have two bands left over from MrG's try anything years and I use them for pain relief.....
They work for me......x

Get yourself a support of some kind, Yilly.

I know enough about golf to not bother.

[Tilly2]

Thanks for that, Yont but they look quite scary and a bit medical! I'll look like Robocop!

[Tilly2]

I'll have a look, Gness. Thank you.

[tonyav]

How about one of these non robocop looking things then, Yilly.
