With appropriate patient education and treatment, full recovery including prevention of recurrent would require three months.
It depends on the severity. For mild problems, anti-inflammation medications and heat for three days can be successful. If more severe, physical therapy for up to a month can be helpful.
Depends on the therapist who treats you, the treatment you’re getting, and the chronicity of your tennis elbow. Anything from 6 weeks to 6 months.
It should improve after a few weeks and might get all the way better and back to normal by 6-8 weeks
