Tennis Elbow

Tennis Elbow

They say I have Tennis Elbow, but I never played Tennis before

I can tell you one thing, my arm sure is sore

It feels like a snake bit me, and that snake is still there

Constant pain down my arm, as for pain, I've had my share

I went to see my Doctor, she sent me to therapy

Now I am exercising, and putting ice on me

I wonder if I'll have to eat Elbow Macaroni too

I wonder how long it'll take, before I'm through

I can feel that pain in the back of my shoulder

With that ice that I'm using, it sure is colder

They gave me a list of things I'm suppose to do

I never played Tennis, at least not that I knew

People have told me, you can get it from many things

Life and its activities, and whatever it brings

Maybe I took too many pictures, and now I'm paying the price

Or played too many games, where I was throwing the dice

I thought I did this, while asleep one night

Woke up and felt pain, like someone beat me in a fight

Or maybe while grocery shopping, my heavy backpack did this to me

Whatever the case, I wish to set this pain free

Not really sure how I got this. It's been told many people get this.

So now I'm dealing with it. I can still do most things I do, and I am

keeping the pain under control. I just need to learn to rest often,

and keep following what the therapists are telling me. The pain

seems to be lessening to some degree, so it must be working.

Anyone for Tennis? Forget it, I'm taking up Ping Pong.
