Christmas Baking Elbow injuries.....

Christmas baking Elbow (tennis elbow or Lateral epicondylitis)

So you have been busy baking all those holiday treats and now you are experiencing

• Pain on the outer part of elbow (lateral epicondyle).
• Point tenderness over the lateral epicondyle – a prominent part of the bone on the outside of the elbow.
• Gripping and movements of the wrist hurt, especially wrist extension and lifting movements.
• Activities that use the muscles that extend the wrist (e.g. pouring a jug of Santas milk, lifting with the palm down) are characteristically painful.
• Morning stiffness.

You may have some Christmas baking elbow.  This is an overuse injury.  Massaging the arm above and below the elbow, as well as the attachment points in and around the elbow can help ease the pain you are experiencing.  So come in from the cold, you deserve a break after all that baking, and get a relaxing massage.
