No, I don't play tennis. I do get tennis elbow most every year from running the chainsaw (I assume anyway). Anybody else? The damn thing gets so sore I can hardly lift a couple lbs or shake hands without experiencing some pretty decent pain.

I got it from arm wrestling a lot when I was young and stupid. Now it flairs up on me when I swing a sledge hammer and miss, or throw ANYTHING hard. Once it's inflamed it stays that way for at least two weeks and everything I do hurts. Even sleeping hurts and it kind of sucks. It's amazing how weak it can make your grip.

I get every so often and in fact got it so bad this last I am going to PT for it now. They have me wearing a brace and doing to excervises. Basically using small weight and rotating wrist up and down and then turning it counterclockwise then counterclockwise
Oh yeah ice and ibuprofen best friends

I've had it from the chainsaw and from carrying my vet grip.
Welcome to the OACC. Old Age Club for Curmudgeons.
I think we need to stage a protest on some rural road. Who has beer and a handful of lawnchairs? Marching is too hard work.

I have carpal tunnel. Thats nice too. I had the electrical test done last year. I have both issues in my wrists and my elbows.
The reason I went in is because I cant do ANY work with my hands without numbness, and worse yet is the pain shooting up my forearms into my hands when I sleep.
I cant drive an ATV for more than 10 minutes or so without my hands going completely numb. If I chainsaw, its gonna be a few nights of no sleep due to my lower arms in total pain.
I had steroids shot into my wrists last fall. They said that would open up the channels for the nerves or some shit. It didnt do a goddamn thing for me.

BLB, get a follow up and get surgery if you can. You don't want to let that go on.

Stu,
Are you using your lighter saw mostly for your habitat work? If I use my brothers Husqvarna 445 for 10 minutes I feel it. I use my 435 and can cut almost all day. They're only a 1.5 pound difference.

Ya, the vast majority of my saw work is with a Stihl 180c

BLB get your carpels dealt with. Have had both done in the last three years. Shot a doe with my bow 3 days after surgery on my release hand. Not that big of a deal. Do one at a time. It is worth it.

I had carpal tunnel surgery done on my left hand and have used it for 20 years on cattle pregnancy testing since then.
Chain saws are tough on carpal tunnels.

I have lots of aches and pains. Got over tennis/golf elbow two years ago after lots of PT. Then have continual upper neck and shoulder issues that I had to go to PT again. Could not sleep on either side.....and was spending lots of nights in the recliner. More PT. Still cannot feel two (ring and pinky) fingers on my left hand. Then took a fall and hurt my other shoulder. That one is still quite sore.....but it doesnt seem to hurt when I play golf. FORE! Back issues come and go.....I did get a Teetor inversion table that really helps with that. Recently I bought a Saunders Device to provide neck traction in that area. I've been living with back issues for a long time....and these things seem to help. I figured these "gadgets" were more useful to me than some of the chiropractors and PT folks are. Gonna ship my Saunders traction device back up to MN for the summer. Most of the guys I play golf with take lots of "golf candy" a few times during play. (Ibuprofen) Getting old aint for sissies.
