Carl, you're a contractor, right? Is there a certain job you do repetitively? I'd second Howie's advice of daily stretching and massaging your forearm, that can help loads. When I was doing contracting work and when I do renos now, I try and alternate hands as much as I can, with plenty of stretching and breaks once in a while. Prevention goes a long way I think.

Trades work can be hell on the body, especially if you are doing the same thing - in the same manner - day in and day out. Takes a toll.

I think the bottom line is you need to find out what is causing the inflammation on that arm and try to reduce or eliminate that cause - either with braces, using the other arm or a different technique. Good luck!
