THE 3 STOOGES OF LATERAL ELBOW PAIN: DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS, ASSESSMENT, TREATMENT, REHAB AND MANAGEMENT OF LATERAL ELBOW PAIN

The 3 Stooges is a slapstick comedy show featuring 3 central characters with personalities central to developing the comedy that unfolds on the screen. Lateral elbow pain is eerily similar. There are 3 key differential diagnosis that all exist at the lateral elbow that can wreak havoc on a patient’s health. These diagnoses include: 1. Elbow Derangement 2. Cervical Radiculopathy 3. Wrist Extensor Tendinopathy. Each of these conditions requires very specific treatment, rehab & management. These conditions have unique personalities like each stooge. These conditions have different triggers just like each stooge and respond differently to various treatments; however, the common similarity is the location of pain at the lateral elbow. This 1 hour course will use 3 case studies to discuss the 3 differentials above at length. The goal is to use slapstick humor to prove the point that all lateral elbow pain is not the same.
