I've been dealing with this for several years, it has resurfaced. Apparently calcium pills can help alleviate pain, I usually put ice in a freezer bag to use on my arm for 15 minutes at a time..

If you want to email me, I can give you the name and website of some stuff that will really help you.
I've had tendinitis off and on for years - very painful and darned inconvenient (although when one can't vacuum, I'm not sure yet whether that's a good or bad thing! lol)

I used to play tennis a lot as a college student. It was hard to find a court back then so I'd wait until it would rain and the courts were empty. That was a good time to practice serving without complaints from people waiting to use the court.
The good thing about hitting wet tennis balls was, it made me have a strong serve.
The bad thing about hitting wet tennis balls, was it was tearing the tendons in my elbow and forearm causing horrible pains.
It forced me to quit the game.
Within a few years there appeared to be no signs of tennis elbow until I started back at tennis again.
I tried some Glucosamine joint therapy powder. It relieved those pains, but again, I decided to quit tennis before more serious problems arose.
Something I may blog about in the future: Niacin. When I take high doses of Niacin (good to increase the metabolism and flush the arteries of cholesterol) it tends to strip the joints from their natural protection. Within 2 weeks after discontinuing Niacin the joint pains were gone.

Unfortunately, thats a very painful condition that can take months to clear up completely, I learned that the hard way. Sometimes a simple brace for the condition that applies pressure around the forearm just below the elbow brings relief. You can test the theory before you waste money on a brace by simply squeezing your forearm just below the elbow and flexing your arm. If that gives you any relief then you might benefit from a brace. Good luck friend.

I had it in my ankle many years ago. I went to a podiatrist who did acupuncture on it. After one treatment it had cleared up and I haven't been bothered with it again.

I am glad this topic came up.
Last year I had surgery on both hands for carpal tunnel. When they did the testing to determine the extent of the carpal tunnel they also discovered I had damage at my elbows. They wouldn't consider surgery on both issues.
I had no problems until the weather went cold, and I have been experiancing so much pain it has caused me to get my braces out again. I try to wear them only for immediate relief, because I wore them so long with the carpal tunnel I feel I made my muscles weak.
I am not glad it came up to know others have to deal with this but rather it is nice to hear some alternatives to relieve the pain as I no longer have insurance.
Thank You
J

Thanx for all the comments and suggestions.
I don't have insurance either, why I have to find a remedy to this on my own.

Stretch...as you stretch, and it can be painful to do so, your muscles are forced from a taunt, cramped, tight mode to a loose, lengthened, relaxed mode. This will relieve the pressure that is being put on your tendons. If it doesn't burn when you stretch, you aren't stretching long enough or far enough. This works for cramps, tendinitis, and just about any other form of muscular discomfort. As a bonus, the more you stretch, the more flexible you will become.
