Many years ago I had tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) for which I had to wear a clamp on my arm for months without improvement.  Eventually my doctor gave me a cortisone injection which cured it within a couple of days.
Some years later I got it again, recognising it through experience.  It was in the winter so I hadn't been stung for a few months.  I went to a hive and applied the sharp end of a bee to the painful spot and held it there for a full 2 minutes.  It was painful, turned red and swelled for a couple of days.  When it went, so did the tennis elbow, and it didn't come back.  The sting stimulates the body to produce its own cortisone.
