David Bhatia, a 48-year-old software engineer...
David Bhatia, a 48-year-old software engineer and weekend tennis enthusiast, began experiencing sharp, persistent pain on the outer side of his right elbow. Over the past six months, the pain intensified, making it difficult to grip his coffee mug, type for long periods, or play his beloved tennis. He tried rest, ice, and over-the-counter painkillers with little relief. An orthopedic specialist diagnosed him with 'Tennis Elbow' (lateral epicondylitis), likely from repetitive strain at work and sport. The doctor recommended a corticosteroid injection to reduce inflammation and pain. David was nervous about the needle but desperate for relief. The injection itself was a quick pinch. Within a week, the sharp pain subsided significantly. Combined with a prescribed physical therapy regimen to strengthen his forearm, David gradually returned to typing pain-free and, after two months, to modified tennis. Emotionally, he shifted from frustration and fear of a chronic limitation to relief and optimism, feeling back in control of his active life.
