I agree. I would also caution that doctors do not always get diagnosis correct. Many years ago I went to the doctor with chest pains. He gave me a thorough examination and said my heart was OK, my lungs were rubbish and I should stop smoking if I wanted to live to 60, and the cause of my chest pains was inflammation of the valve into my stomach, which was due to stress. I said I didn't think I was under any stress, and I had cut down a lot on my smoking. "That's it," he said, "the stress is due to reducing your nicotine intake". I asked if he was going to give me anything and he said no, he wasn't going to replace one drug with another. The chest pains continued, but I worked out what the cause was accidentally. It was too much coffee. One week the secretary was off work on holiday and no one was topping up the percolator. So I made myself a cup of tea when I felt like it, instead of consuming the coffee. By Wednesday the pain went away. I did tests on myself to prove it was coffee by starting and stopping. I've since heard of other people similarly affected by coffee. PS If you get chest pains, don't assume it's the coffee!!! My only long term stint in an office years ago drove me to drinking lots of filtered coffee and I had exactly the same with the chest pains! I remember it being quite worrying, I was also a smoker at the time, took a good few months before I realised. Yes and no. Where I go they normally become very upset if I haven't self diagnosed myself prior to the visit there. On the form I filled in and posted yesterday I was asked to be precise in my description of what I got and exactly where on the body it bothers me, and it's origin. Since I didn't have a diagnosis yet I had to give them some options. Beside: "overuse", is that a diagnosis? I don't think so. In Sweden, at least where I live, there is a responsibility gap the common medicine doctors and the specialists / surgeons. The latter always want every x-ray, tests, mri etc done before the visit - but it never happens. It's always about who takes the cost.

Update
Went to the emergency unit today, about my ongoing elbow to hands problems. Managed to get to talk to an orthopedist. But it's a real hell. They made some other tests as well, since it was an emergency unit. Blood pressure. I have never had such a weird blood pressure before - 98/87. 😯
The diagnosis was the one I self diagnosed in early May: kubital tunnel syndrome, bilateral. Worst are the spasms and pain.
Surgery times are Jan-March 2021 at our 2 main hospitals. IF no second Corona wave then. He said it will definitely be too late then - but it's a Corona priority. But I have an appointment w another ortopedist on Aug 26th. Maybe they have a shorter queue. And possibly the one w the orthopedist on Monday is still on. But he has a lower rank, so not sure what he can do.
Good night!

I had two ops a month apart, not felt a twinge since. Good luck when do have the knife.

It went good (but I can't play FIFA or something like that extremely repetitive). But now with the cubital tunnel syndrome diagnosis (elbow), I feel even more scared - since it has lead to muscle waste. And there is no surgery time instantly. I will hopefully get muscle-tests done within 2-3 weeks. I can even feel the nerve at the elbow. Normally it should be approx 3 mm. Mine are more like hot dogs.

It makes wonders. It was the Arnica Ecological plant option, by Doc Vogel. I'm more of a plant guy, than a fan of chemicals.

I'm waiting for the ordered splint from Belgium to arrive by post to door-delivery this week, to use it for my right elbow. I already have one on my left elbow. Straight arms as much as possible, they've said. Like a penguin. Hoping for a miracle. To naturally diminish the nerve inflammation. I've noticed that straight arms and no (and thereby I absolutely mean NO) activity whatsoever, actually diminish the symptoms. Since mid April, I've tried it some days for like 16 hours without even eating (since that affects the elbows negatively to a great deal), and it diminishes the symptoms effectively. Especially if I all the time also am standing.

They need to get a hold and regulate/test it properly, this half arsed approach we have at the moment is doing nobody any favours. I suppose now that research is finally taking place things will start to change, I gather the NHS are going to be making their own cannabinoid oils soon, not that they have any medicinal effect obviously

So the old wives tale about making you go blind was wrong then? 😁
Seriously though any muscle/tendon inflammation may be made worse by high carbohydrate intake - heard it said on the web and my own experience with plantar fasciitis and tendonitis seemed to have improved by the reduction - dont know if their is scientific evidence for this but works for me.
Also see what exercises there are to improve things

Or rather the stucked nerves leading to it. But it has a low priority in our health service here. Even if it means the end. Everything is decided this coming week.

Latest
Saw another young just 35 year old doctor today at another hospital I've never been to before. To my surprise he's done some cubital tunnel operations himself, but his focus was carpal tunnel operations. However, he said he didn't want to do my elbows himself. I will be called to neurographic measurements first of all. Then placed on a waiting list at yet another hospital - in another city, by him. Surgery in November.
In the meantime I will be called to neugraphic measurements by another doctor I saw last week. And he said I could bring the results with me to another hospital this month (the one my health clinic directed me to), to be placed on a waiting list for surgery within 2.5 months there.
Full circus.

So sorry mate. I didn't realise how bad this was or I wouldn't have tried to be so lighthearted about it. Hope you get sorted soon. I waited the whole summer to see the ortopedist my doctor in general medicine at our ordinary health clinic wrote to in June. At the end of August I found out at the meeting with him, he has a ZERO success rate at these kind elbow surgeries. Zero! He said so himself!! The whole summer. He began by saying that, and had no intentions to proceed with the operation, no matter what state I was in, obviously. Muscle waste, no doubt, and he agreed. But since the neurography the week before said no median or ulnar nerves are stuck at the elbow or wrist on either side atm, we now face a dilemma. I asked if they most likely had been before and now are not. He said, "it can't be, either you have it or not, it can't go away like that". He's convinced it's tennis and golf elbows I've got. This is a totally different opinion than my right wrist surgeon had in 2014. "It can be swollen for a week, and then not at all, go away by itself, but still might need a surgery four months later", she said. Which happened to me back then, regarding the carpal tunnel. It must be the same now then, with my elbows. The neurography doesn't show they're stuck - at least not early in the morning - but when the day goes on, they become stuck! I can feel the nerve getting swollen. For some reason though I always get the first morning time to doctors, tests etc. Next week I will see another doctor, actually the one who ordered the neurography at the Hospital in the middle of August. I wonder what he says, with this test result. He said he could send me to another surgeon (due to Corona) to have a surgery done. But he wanted them to have the neurography result first, as a starting point, to know where to cut. He's convinced it's an ulnar nerve impingemrent. Just like the orthopedist at the emergency unit said. Yesterday I went to both the physiotherapist and the work hand therapist, for feedback. And today I was given acupuncture. First session. Next week as I said, an appointment with the doctor who ordered the neurography. One hour by tram/bus. On the same day, another acupuncture session close to where I live. The day after, an appointment with yet another work hand therapist, recommended by the doctor who thought I was having tennis elbow and golf elbow. And on Friday acupuncture session #3. In fact I think all 5-6 persons are correct. You should only mix it up with a bit of compartment syndrom and tendonitis, to get the whole picture. If you're overdoing something, and work in all kind of directions, repetitive, with and without resistance, it's likely you just don't get ONE diagnosis, it's more likely every of the three nerves in the arms are stuck more or less, different muscles effected, tendons too. They have loose plans so far for my tendons as well. When getting a strain, you use not only muscles, but also tendons, nerves and joints.

It's one thing knowing what's wrong then deciding on the risk/reward involved. But to be given different diagnoses with a possible zero chance of a good outcome must be unpalatable. Do you think the acupuncture has made any difference even at this very early stage? It seems to me the best outcome would be to manage it via acupuncture if at all possible and leave the 'experts' to argue over what's wrong. Not ideal as the underlying problem remains but hopefully gives you some relief while they come to an agreed plan. Good luck with the next stage Musik, I'm sure everyone on here is hoping for the best possible outcome for you.

Good luck with the next stage Musik, I'm sure everyone on here is hoping for the best possible outcome for you. Thanks! Luckily that surgeon near our city centre is the only one with a 0% success rate. The ortopedist I'm going to on Wednesday says the surgeons in a small town north of where I'm living provide a 60% success rate. The ortopedist at the Emergency unit in our neighbour city, says their daytime success rate is 66%. Yesterday I read a hospital across the country offers a 85-95% success rate. I've been given acupuncture before in the 90ies by a chinese doctor (against sound sensitivity and tinnitus), many sessions, and it gave me some improvement. Today was my first session against the elbow problem, and it was very different to how I experienced acupuncture back in the 90ies. For a start I didn't bleed at all today. And secondly, it was quite painful. She said it can be a bit worse at the beginning. I will demand a sonography from the doc on Wednesday. For them the least expensive way to see the conditions of the muscles, the tendons, the nerves at the same time. No side effects. The physioterapist recommended that too. I've read, by a sonography (ultra sound) you can decide if the nerve is compressed, if tendons have nerves and blood vessels on them, and if a muscle inflammation is going on, tennis and/or golf elbow etc. Normally though, in Sweden if a patient suggests an examination, you are likely to be denied. However, I've seen that several cities in Sweden have clinics that offers sonography (ultra sound examination) of muscles etc without the need of a letter recommendation from a doctor, and for free (especially if the patient already has reached the maximum of health care fees within this year, I have). Surely it must be someone here as well doing this, so I don't have to travel across the country. Haven't found any this week though.

I think the max THC level allowed is 0.3%, above which it is deemed "illegal"* From what I've seen of musik and his medical woes he seems a prime candidate for a Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency, Ethan Russo talks about it in some of his lectures. Is it just legal for medical where you are? *depending on who you're married to

Back from the Ortopedist.
It was too late for surgery. Perhaps I can be cured anyway. He managed to injure my tendon also, so now I can't do my right hand muscle exercise for 14 days at least.
Advice: Don't go to the Doc!
On my way to the physiotherapist now for Acupuncture again.

I have treatment each day now.
Just back from a Acupuncture session.
We talked about laser therapy. But noone knows where to get it, and how expensive it is.
Then a bit about shock wave therapy, but that seems to be the last option.
Scanlab was a treatment apparently that would solve any tissue issue, but it's not available anywhere for the common man, only for the pro athletes. There you go! I should have been a pro athlete, and 30 years younger.
No wonder pro footballers can be back on the pitch after muscle, tendons or even nerve injuries so quickly, sometimes after just half a week, whereas the common man can be back at his work within half a year at best.

One thing I was told to do for my back to releave swelling etc was to flush the muscles to get rid of the inflammation its easy and cant hurt to try get a hot water bottle and ice or frozen peas alternate every 30 seconds on the area concerned what this does is make the area expand and contract pushing out the inflammation its worth a try anyway
