13 Reasons Not to Take Anti Inflammatory Medications for Tennis Elbow

If you show up in your Doctor’s office complaining of pain on the outside of your elbow, there is strong chance that you will be examined for tennis elbow.  If it is tennis elbow that you have then your Doctor will most likely recommend one or more of the following “treatment” options:

1. Anti-inflammatory medications
2. A series of Cortisone injections
3. Elbow brace or splint

For the purpose of this article, we will focus on anti-inflammatory medications which is what most Doctors recommend for tennis elbow pain relief.

The main problem with taking anti-inflammatory pills in general is that they only treat the symptoms and pain and do nothing to treat the root cause of your pain and suffering.  So in essence anti-inflammatory pills only provide symptomatic relief!

Then there are the side effects!  Long term use of medications such as anti-inflammatory pills or NSAID’s can cause many side effects that can be long lasting and impact your quality of life.

Here are 13 side effects and reasons why you should avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications for the treatment of your tennis elbow:

1. Headaches
2. Nausea
3. Drowsiness
4. Vomiting
5. Diarrhea
6. Constipation
7. Loss of appetite
8. Rash
9. Dizziness
10. Kidney Failure
11. Liver Failure
12. Stomach ulcers
13. Prolonged bleeding after an injury or surgery

Keep in mind this is by no means the complete list of side effects from taking these types of medications.  Rather this is a list of the most reported and documented.

So what if your Doctor recommends you take anti-inflammatory medications for your tennis elbow pain?
