Chronic Tennis Elbow caused by job.

Post by kay_thebigbird »

Just had operation on right arm for chronic tennis elbow, not a pleasant operation & very painful also steroids injected inthe left aswell, surgeon said damage done by being a postie for years,& they still want us to do more work, yeh right, anybody else got tennis elbow or any other ailment because of the job. p.s have to say operation was last resort tried everything else over the last 3 years but nothing worked off sick now for about 6-8 weeks then play it by ear.

I'm trying to think of a part of my body that is still functioning properly - and I've not been a postman all my working life. :shock:

Yep but that is not caused by the job just not being able to be on the job!. I can cure it for you a plane ticket and my trusty garden shears will relive you of your pain!.
