Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)

is the name for a condition in which the bony bump at the outer side of the elbow is painful and tender.

I don't even play tennis, but that's what I have. So now I have a lovely black arm band to help keep the stress off the tendon. It helps, but it itches. Basically my right arm has become useless, so hopefully the treatment will get things right again in four to six weeks. Yep, that's right...four to six weeks doing things with just my other arm.

Fortunately I have wonderful children willing and able to take up the slack.

After day one most of the continuous pain has been relieved. How wonderful!
