Basically pain is like someone is stabbing me in elbow whenever I lift something heavy etc,sharp pain on back of elbow.Seems it is opposite of tennis elbow injury.
Physio thinks now I should get it X-rayed.Wondering given that an X-ray only shows bone should I go for an MRI scan to see more clearly what damage is done?
How do costs compare for MRI or X-ray?
Have VHI,what kind of waiting time would you have privately v going public for either X-ray or MRI?
Thanks for any replies.
