    Cool Diagnosis please

    A few months ago we were camping and were caught in an electric storm. Our camping trailer was faulty and wasn't earthed properly. The trailer was connected to 220V electrical supply. I was sitting (under cover) with one foot on the ground and my right arm on the armrest of the chair. My chair must have touched the trailer momentarily. I received a severe shock through my foot (the one that was NOT on the ground). I don't know whether it was lightening which struck me or the 220V current! Believe it or not!! Seems silly, but ... ever since that afternoon, I have suffered tennis elbow symptoms. It feels like the tip of my elbow (bone) has shattered. I have done some research and it could be the tendon that was torn?
    Could someone please confirm whether my injury could be related to this incident or not. Also what can I do to treat the pain.
    Much appreciated.

    Hi
    I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea if this kind of incident could cause anjury like this. It seems unlikely, but as I say I really don't know.
    All I can suggest is that you visit your Doctor which is probably wise after such an incident anyway!
