I have tennis elbow, use a strap with velcro that is placed just below the elbow. Without it, could never play golf, hurts every time I swing without it. with it on, never feel a thing.

Ya, I've got that strap as well as a sleeve. They help, but aren't doing much for it this time. Glad I'm about done with saw work, but digging holes and driving t-posts aren't much fun.

It helps for a period of time. I know what I need to do, and that is to stop doing things that irritate it further. It's spring, that isn't gonna happen

Goddamn elbow has only gotten worse. My wife got sick of my bitching and rubbed some "Herbal Pain Relieving Gel" all around that elbow. Shit smells like Ben Gay, but she says it's a lot better/different All I'll say is that I should have been using the stuff all along. Whether it's the "pain" created by the gel taking my mind off the pain of the elbow, the placebo effect, or it actually helps...I don't know. I do know my elbow hasn't felt this good in weeks.

Did the planting of plugs irritate it?

Just a quick tip.. when I played high school football, just a FEW years ago, we had a product called Atomic Bomb that was like a super Ben Gay. I was using it on some sore muscles, but don"t EVER get it on your jock strap!

Did the planting of plugs irritate it? Everything I do seems to irritate it. I know what it needs, and that's a couple weeks of rest. Bad time of the year for that though. LOL on the jockstrap comment

It worked as well as those tennis shoes that were advertised to make you run your fastest and jump your highest but both occurred all at once.

What's really funny is that football players don't even wear jockstraps any more

Hope your elbow is doing better Stu. I well remember the times I've had that......and about the only thing that heals it is time. I would wear those bands and they do help.....but you just gotta lay off it to get it to heal.
Surprisingly.....with all the golf I have been playing.....I have not gotten golfers or tennis elbow back again (knock on wood). I've had lots of other injuries to overcome....but the tennis elbow seems to be gone for now.
Hope you heal fast! FORE!
