Elbow Problems

[divottool]

I have had a raging case of tennis elbow since just after the first of the year! I think that it came about from hitting off of those frikin mattes in cold weather.

It is on the outside of the right elbow......I have been icing and applying IB lotion on it, and it will get better then flare up again. Man I hope thet I don't have to take some time off.......that would be worst than the tendenitis.

Any suggestions?

I've had it for about one year now. I just stretch it and drop 2 Alleve's before I play. Really, I doubt if mine will ever go away. Those elbow bands just below the elbow on the forearm seem to keep everything in place as well.

I had tendonitis while playing baseball. I would golf after ball practice and my left elbow (I throw lefty, but golf righty) would just throb. I put on a cheap elbow brace and it worked like magic. I could swing with it on and my tendons stayed in their places. After practice, I would ice it, then put the brace on, then golf. Its amazing how much a brace can do.

I quit baseball when I went to college last year, but I still golf, and my elbow hasn't bothered me since, so I couldn't have damaged it that bad by golfing that much after baseball.
