funny you should bring this up. i am a tennis player and play 3-4 days/week. (it is possible here in so cal!) and have made some changes to my game this fall. i was practicing more than usual and came down with tennis elbow for the first time.

boy it is painful! it is getting a little better because i am laying off the courts. i must face the fact that i have to let it rest. it now hurts when i shake someones hand. the pain shoots thru my entire arm.

i also started my first cycle and wondered if it may have excaberated it. it has seemed more painful than usual lately.

we are all looking for a magic bullet but the only cure is time and rest. i have heard cortisone shots cause more bad than good in the long run as it prolongs healing.

Funny thing is, when I get it..on or off cycle, it is generall caused by curls, like wide grip straaight bar curls or incline DB curls...BUT... When I do compound exersizes like chins or reverse grip pulldowns, then I don't experience the pain. So instead of stopping the muscle work, at least try a different exersize that may not irritate it. Worked for me.

Im prone to shoulder injuries and such from working out and they get tender if I go up to fast in weights,but taking 2-3 grams of glucosamine sulphate every day get them feeling much better after a few weeks

someone recommended glucosamine to me the other day. i never even heard of it. i must check this out.

massage, ice, work around

I have had similiar problems and when clients of mine ask about their tennis elbow. I tell em to first try to avoid exercises that aggrevate it...for me its usually isolation exercises and compound exercises ususally dont agreevate it...but each persons injury is different so for starters work around it...second of all start icing it right after your workout, after massages, and before bed....finally massage the area...I would take a hold of where it is and massage the living crap out of it...do this for 5-10 minutes once or twice a day and follow immediately by ice...i guarantee this will speed up the healing process...also antiinflammatory drugs are good...alleve, vioxx, celebrex..anyways hope this helps...good luck

Goldprospector and BioAS; same here. The worst offender (for me) is preacher curls, but almost any supported pulling movements irritate my elbow problem, with exception to supported hammer curls, which don’t seem to bother me.

For me; capsicum patches have worked best, but since this is the anabolic board I can’t forget to mention what has helped the most; r-HGH + Deca.

What you need is the bucket of pain. Take a bowl and fill it with ice. Add water. Add your elbow. Wait 15 minutes. This will help more than anything. Keep us posted.

Once again people associate lack of pain with proper healing . How about I load your arm up with lidocaine and simply chop it off, no more pain so you must be healed right?

Ummm, since when is icing an injury just to kill the pain? Just don't get that comment....
