My last Holidays and my next holidays

Hi friends,

Today we have to talk about holidays... I want to tell you how were my last holidays and a very interesting place that I visited.

Well last summer I did a lot of things, but in this post I’ll only talk about my trip as backpacker.

The idea started with two of my best friends, we decided to do a trip as backpackers, but where? After some days, we decided go to the south of Chile and Argentina. In one week we buy things like backpacks, sleeping bags and all things that we could need in a backpacker trip. Finally we got together in my home with all things less tickets to start the trip! So we decided go to the bus station and buy tickets for the next bus that would go to Villarrica. With a little of luck we bought tickets immediately, in that moment one of the biggest adventures in our lives was beginning.
Well, we arrived to Villarica the next day; we went to a camping and stayed there four days, enjoying the beach and the traditional things of the town. After that we went to Pucon (a city near Villarica), there we stayed in a camping again.
Our next destination was Bariloche in Argentina, in that city we went to a lot of partys and we stayed in a hostel named Backpackers Hostel, a great place to meet other backpackers from any place of the world, we met three Israeli girls and one Canadian man.
After Bariloche we returned to Chile, and we went to a very interesting place: Tantauco Park.

In Tantauco park we lived a great adventure like Indiana Jones! Tantauco park is a national reserve in the south of Chiloe, you can only arrive there by boat or walking.
You have to go through the park following signs in the trees, and walk miles and miles to arrive to a shelter. In each mini travel between shelters we saw amazing things like native animals, virgins rivers and lakes and many other things that I cant explain by words. We had objectives like arrive to some shelters in the park but we couldn’t for time.

Next summer we want to go again to the park and go through all the park! And arrive to the places that we couldn’t the last summer.

The tennis elbow

Tennis Elbow
What treatments work?

Tennis elbow is a common disease in people. The article proposes that the disease get better by itself, but you can do some things to improve the rehabilitation.

Treatments that are likely to work:

NSAID (Non steroidal anti inflammatory) gels and sprays
NSAID are a type of painkiller, they can improve your symptoms if the don’t help, you may tray with a different NSAID or use a higher dose, but always you have to consult with your doctor.

NSAID Tablets:
NSAID tablets works good for pain, but is not known if help at long time.
Consult with your doctor anyway, because you may have other problems taking this method.

Steroid Injections:
An injection reduces your pain quickly, but not helps in a long time and may causes problems with your skin.

Treatments that need further study:

Acupunture:
Acupunture may help or not, you have to try.

Exercise:
Exercise help to improve your strengthen in the articulation and help to pain, but you have to consult with a physical therapist the exercise that is the best and how you have to do it.
Work better in a long term.

Arm Braces:
The tendon rests, but don’t help with the pain.

Surgery:
If the disease is severe you can consult to a doctor for a surgery.

Treatments that are unlikely to work

Shockwave therapy
A lot of studies shows that sound waves don’t help with the pain and the strengthen of the articulation.
