missk,
Just talked to 1 of my Indonesian customers who's here in sing but his wife in jkt. His hse though on the higher ground is not affected but the road and electricity cut off thus his wife can't go home these days, has to put up at some where which is not affected by flood. I called another customer in jkt, he's staying at the suburb area thus not affected by the flood.
Oh now i rem i have a customer whose office at KOMPLEK GROGOL PERMAI BLOK A 1-2. Is it near to yr hse?

What is tennis elbow?
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is the most common injury in patients seeking medical attention with the complaint of elbow pain. Exactly what causes tennis elbow is unknown, but it is thought to be due to small tears of the tendons that attach the muscles of the forearm to the arm bone at the elbow joint.
The muscle group involved, the wrist extensors, function to cock the wrist back. Specifically, the extensor carpi radialis brevis, has been implicated in causing the symptoms of tennis elbow.
What are the symptoms of tennis elbow?
Patients with the tennis elbow syndrome experience pain on the outside of the elbow that is worsened by grasping objects and cocking back the wrist. The most common symptoms of tennis elbow are:
Pain over the outside of the elbow
Pain when lifting objects
Pain radiating down the forearm
The pain associated with tennis elbow usually has a gradual onset, but may also come on suddenly. Most patients with tennis elbow are between the ages of 35-65 years old, and it affects about an equal number of men and women. Tennis elbow occurs in the dominant arm in about 75% of patinets. Anyone can be affected, but tennis elbow is most commonly seen in two groups of patients:
Manual Laborers
People who work with their hands, manual laborers, are at risk of developing tennis elbow. Jobs that may lead to tennis elbow include plummers, painters, gardeners, and carpenters.
Sports Participants
Sports participants, including racquet sport players, are prone to developing tennis elbow. Probably 1/3 of regular tennis players experience tennis elbow at some point in their career. In addition to racquet sports, tennis elbow is seen in golfers, fencers, and other sports participants.
Are special tests needed to diagnose tennis elbow?
X-rays of patients who have the diagnosis of tennis elbow are almost always normal. Other studies such as an EMG are sometimes obtained if there is confusion about the diagnosis.
Other causes of pain over the outside of the elbow include instability of the joint, elbow arthritis, and radial tunnel syndrome. The symptoms of these conditions are usually distinct, but in some cases they can be confusing.
What is the problem occurring in tennis elbow?
No one knows for certain, but there are several ideas. It is known that tennis elbow is not simply an "inflammation" of the tendons around the joint. Rather, the problem is thought to be more of a degenerative process either the result of aging, or repetitive use. The symptoms may be the result of an incomplete healing response in an area that does not have good blood flow, and therefore difficulty accessing nutrition and oxygen necessary for healing. This leads to degeneration of the tendon causing small tears.
When do I need to see the doctor for tennis elbow?
Symptoms that you should bring to the attention of your doctor include:
Inability to carry objects or use the arm
Elbow pain that occurs at night or while resting
Elbow pain that persists beyond a few days
Inability to straighten or flex the arm
Swelling or significant bruising around the joint or arm
Any other unusual symptoms

re: elomet
amy, dun apply too much elomet. It contains steroid. My GP prescribe for Samuel and Joelle too. In fact J has very serious eczema... always scratch till bleed. At times her leg will become so dry and cracked kind .. till bleed even without scratch! That's only after we din apply 1-2 times of moisturizer for her after bath. Poor girl I am always v worried abt her skin. I try not to use elomet unless its very bad and she is really itch till v bad. And I use vvvv sparingly and not near the eyes.
For maintenance, I use california baby calendula cream instead. At least wont be worried abt the steroid effect. I tried physiogel before with Samuel... but never continues.. I also dunno why... my mum dun like leh.... but we love calendula cream cos the smell v pleasant and not greasy.
re: leapfrog
i cant remember exact offhand but the site should be www.mylittleones.com or www.mylittleones.com.sg should not blocked leh cos i access it yesterday ok.

amy,
is the smell for the calendula cream harmful??? oh i din know that...
J's eczema never seems to truly clear. It may seems to be clear today but 2 days later for no apparent reason, it comes back again.... so all i can do is just to keep her skin as moisturized as possible. I also only apply elomet only when really bo bian especially if its so itchy that she is starting to bleed. I dun have this problem leh.... think she must have gotten this inherited from my mum who have vv bad eczema problem.

serene,
i bought from usa amazon on my own... din participate in any bulk purchase... cos when i buy, no one else seems to be buying so i just order direct from amazon. its only after that i found out mylittleones import... it shd be cheaper to buy straight from amazon if no bulk purchase.

poohy, dun think the smell is harmful.. but bb jake has got sensitive nose, like me. when he smells strong smelling stuff, he will sneeze.
have you brought joelle to see a dermatologist? bb jake has quite bad ecezma since he was 3 months old... off and on, it'll come and go. saw two PDs, was given diff types of steriods, then saw GP.. also given another milder steriods, still not v useful. only last week i saw a dermatologist, and since then, perfect. no recurrance...

Poohy, i got this info from the forum - from Karen -
"My boy is currently seeing Dr Henry Loh Teck Hiong (Consultant Dermatologist, MBBS, MRCP, FAMS - Derm). He's the dermatologist at NKF-CMF KKH Cleft and Craniofacial Centre. He only sees patient on Wed mornings and Thur afternoon (from Oct onwards) as he's the visiting consultant.

Get a referral from polyclinic cos u pay a cheaper rate. I paid $20 per consultation. If without referral from polyclinic, u're charged at 48.10. Pay separately for medications at the pharmacy also.
His private practice, Dermatology Associates is at Paragon #15-05 Tel: 63338108 (after office hours: 65358833)"
I paid $80 to see him at Paragon, plus medication Pysiogel and Elomet = $150. If you want to see him at KKH, it's $70 for 1st consultation, excluding med. Thought $10 more, why not see him at Paragon, but not sure whether there is any diff with the med.
I got his contact from the forum, and seemed like there are many positive feedback on his service and expertise.
