Steroids short-term fix for tennis elbow

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Steroids provide more short-term relief for tennis elbow than either physical therapy or resting the elbow, a team of Dutch researchers reports in this week's edition of the medical journal, The Lancet. However, tennis elbow patients who took steroids had a higher recurrence rate over one year than patients who had physical therapy or no treatment at all.
