REHAB YOUR INJURY BY...
Stretching: Straighten your elbow and pull your hand straight down. Hold the stretch for 15 seconds and release - do this 3 times. Go to the point of pain and not beyond - more is not necessarily better. Make sure you stretch both directions.
Massage: Massage straight down and across the tendons that are sore in your elbow area. Use circular motions, apply deep pressure along the tendons and as it becomes less sore you may go across the tendons. You can do this yourself or have someone else do it for you. Massage all the way down to where you feel your pain. Use lotion to reduce 'sticking' on your skin. The pain should be less. If it is not, then you may be applying too much pressure.
Icing: 15 minutes for 2 to 3 times per day, with at least one hour in-between.

Yeah, right. For anyone who has seen this video and tried this, do tell- have you actually had any improvement? As a PT myself, I could tell you that this crap that this broad talks about is old school, outdated, and ineffective in my experience. However, perhaps others think otherwise. Let us know, I'm very curious
I am training to be a PT and have tennis elbow at the moment. I have had it for over a year and a half and this is only two percent of the journey. You must stretch not ony the forearms, but also the bis, tris, shoulders, chest and neck. I think strength training is the only way out of this miserable condition. That and ice two times per day.
i`ve had this for about six weeks, have i got to look foward to YEARS of this? Does it ever go back to normal like as if it never happened. i`m going to do these stretches cos i`m really getting p***sed off with my elbow, i can`t workout properly.
Do you still have Elbow pain? I have it like Crazy I can't even lean on a wall or push down on my my desk, it hurts to close a fuckin DOOR it's ridiculous man. I haven't been able to workout my upper Body for awhile cuz of it it's really irritating
I`ve been doing what`s on this video and it has helped, though mine don`t seem like it was as bad as yours sounds, still hurts doing bicep curls, and as for doing shoulders front raises - forget it it`s a killer.
I was t-boned at highway speeds while driving a big pickup. I had a death grip on the steering wheel and went sliding sideways down the interstate 50feet or so. Ever since (6mos) I have elbow pain when I pick up my heavy purse from the passenger seat beside me and bring it across my body to get out of the car. Pain cannot be reproduced by the dr but occurs every morning with the purse maneuver. I also have a tender spot in the "dimple" of the elbow on top.
I developed a stabbing pain just in my outer elbow today and have no idea why except I was lifting a heavy bag and had on my backpack with my laptop in it. It hurts and I hate that!
