ALS8

Thanks again :) That's great to hear.

Good for you! That's great to hear you recovered so well.

Wow guys, thanks for all the info! I'm going mid-august and hoping to do at least 1 round a couple times during the week. We preferred early evening last time to try and beat some of the crazy heat. Pricing doesn’t matter...i expect they'd all be pricey. 70 courses! wow. I knew there were a lot in the area, but didn't expect that. Thanks again for all the advice :)

South. Are they all as lush and forested as man o war? We actually seen a tonne of deer there along the outside border with probably 5 different bird species in and by the gorgeous ponds.

Any recommendations for golf courses in myrtle beach? I've done man o' war and it was gorgeous! so not sure if any of the others can top it, but I do like to see new spots when travelling. Thanks :)

Be careful and listen to your body. I'd definitly say to ease off for more than a week. If you are going to play, I'd suggest taping your elbow for extra support and to help prevent further damage. But from the sounds of it...take a break...and start icing it down if you haven't already. You might also want to try and focus on anything that will increase the blood flow to the area (without heavy stretching to risk further injury). Things like massage therapy, bfst, ultrasound, etc. I always recommend the bfst...i've used it for my foot and back and it did wonders for me. Here's a great page with ideas on treatment golfer's elbow. Wishing you all the best. Golfer's Elbow

Be careful :( He might have recommend for you to keep playing to simply keep the blood flowing to the area...which is important for the healing.....but there are a lot of other ways to do this with no risk factor. Listen to your body and just be careful to not cause further damage.

I agree.

My favourite has always been the paleo diet. No sugar and no carbs (well i try to stay under 10g a day). I was able to loose 10 lbs in 2 weeks doing this. I'm also a fan of juicing reboots. I usually can't make it more than 7 days, but what a difference you can feel in your overall health when you do something like that!

It's good you're not noticing it much and I know that makes it quite convincing sometimes that it is better, but not always is this the case. Even when you don't feel any pain, still always ice it down after a game. You should also tape it as much as possible to help support it and help prevent over extension. I work with soft tissue injuries and although very discouraging, these kinds of things can be helped, without having to quit the game. It is important to rest it and try to take a bit of time off during the treatment, but you don't have to be out for years. This is the treatment I always recommend...as i've used it and I talk to people all the time who have as well...and have healed from it. Look at the testimonials as well for elbow. Wishing you the best.Golf injuries

To help increase mobility and and reduce the pain and stiffness during the recovery period, focus on things that increase the blood flow (but with minimal strain). I recommend treatments that don't require a lot of exertion in being able to do so. Things such as massage therapy, ultrasound, BFST, acupuncture, etc. These types of treatment give you the nutrients and oxygen you need to heal but reduce the risk factors involved with a lot of physical activity. It's also very important to follow anything physical with a cold compress. If the area is inflamed it hinders the blood flow even more than it would typically. Get the inflammation down, then increase the circulation. All the best with your recovery.

I would recommend keeping it taped as much as you can (for extra support) and focus on treatments as per above, that help increase the circulation to the area. Increased blood flow means more nutrients and more oxygen to help heal the soft tissue damage.

Keep us posted barnum. Put a cold compress on your elbow. Taping is always beneficial as well.

I agree with mouseymouse...cold to reduce inflammation of the tendons and/or nerve, then blood flow stimulation. Here is a treatment i recommend for carpal tunnel (which is the same for any soft tissue injury). http://www.kingbrand.com/Carpal_Tunnel_Syndrome_Treatment.php?REF=46PV90.125
