How to treat epicondylitis of the humerus

The treatments for epicondylitis include general treatment, medication, surgery and localized closure. 1. General treatment: Epicondylitis of the humerus, also known as tennis elbow, is mainly caused by maintaining certain postures for a long time. Therefore, the elbow joint can get enough rest, reduce the amount of activities, and avoid movements that cause pain. 2. Medication: When only mild pain occurs in the early stage of the disease, some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken to relieve the pain, such as ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium and so on. 3. Surgical treatment: after regular conservative treatment, the symptoms are still serious, affecting normal life and work can be taken to surgery. Partial excision of the annular ligament and release of the attachment point of the extensor tendon can be chosen to improve or rebuild the blood circulation of the local tissues and promote the healing of the bone and tendon. 4. Local closed treatment: If the local pain or pressure pain is obvious, prednisolone and lidocaine can be used to do local closed treatment. In the event of humeral epicondylitis, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor. In addition, the above drugs should also be used under the guidance of a doctor.
