What's with all the interest in tennis elbow all of a sudden? Must be something in the water... Just got it myself a couple months ago, thought it would go away on its own if I took it easy on the arm; boy was I wrong. Doctor said to immobilize and take ibuprofen 800mg 3x daily for one week, which definitely helped. I stopped the ibuprofen about a week ago and have just been using two braces; one is actually a carpal-tunnel brace but it helps by limiting my wrist motions; the other is the aforementioned arm bandage which puts pressure on the sore tendons. The arm bandage actually helps provide support and imparts a bit of strength to the arm as well. I plan on taking it all off in a 2 or 3 weeks and slowly exercising to regain strength.
