    Recovery varies from person to person, usually taking at least 3 to 6 months for a complete recovery.

    • Cigarette smoking slows tendon and wound healing.
    • Recovery depends on the amount of time and effort you put into a rehabilitation program.
    • You may not be able to keep doing the activity that caused your tennis elbow. Or you may have to make some changes to the way you do that activity in the future.
