I Am Going To Have To Give Up Playing Badminton

[Tilly2]

I have golfer's elbow! :-(

Sorry to hear that Tilly. It's a shame when you have to give up something you enjoy. Could you take up something that doesn't involve your elbows, like skate boarding?

[Tilly2]

That's a bit better, Yont. It will 'go' with my top. Thanks for that.

[Tilly2]

Skate boarding will knacker my ankles, LB!

A unicycle would provide exercise Tills, and you would wave your arms about without any stress to you elbows. Just need a comfortable seat fitted. :))

Sorry to hear this Tilly, I hope you can find a way of being still able to play.

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Marval. I'm sure that a few weeks off and a few ibuprofen will allow me to continue.

Togo, I have a bicycle. Will that suffice?

Hardly compensates for the vigorous arm movement required playing Badminton Tilly, but a unicycle will provide the necessary wild swipes to keep your balance I should think.

could be worse....could be housemaid's knee

Now that would be serious Woof. when I damaged my cruciate ligament I had to stop using my pogo stick to nip down to the Co-op and use the space hopper. Had to blow it up as well. :))

Tilly . . ., although you say you are not into golf - if you do have any golf balls, put them in the freezer and when "frozen", you can "roll" them on the affected area, (see "I - ice" in PRICE). Make sure you put a tea towel over your arm first - to prevent "burning" your flesh. (They are, of course, re-usable! - saves making loads of ice cubes and melt mess!).

Never having played in my life, ok pitch and putt, I have golfers elbow. Found a Velcro armband thingy online with a magnet in, sorry no link :-(
Can now do table tennis wearing said band.

[Tilly2]

Thanks for all the tips, everyone.

It could be worse I suppose. I could have tennis elbow as well.

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Minty.

//I know enough about golf to not bother//
just spoils a nice walk doesn't it?

[Tilly2]

Yes, I'd rather be looking at the birds, not looking for balls.
