Hi Byard, Wes's comments are thorough and useful, the treatments he mentioned have worked for me too. I've also had very good success when I keep the elbow warm during use. I use a neoprene tube that's like waders except it has fabric on one side only. It's tapered and about 9" long so it covers the entire elbow. The non-fabric side goes next to the skin and it's snug but not tight. It's about 3mm thick. Racquetball was the cause of my pain and it got bad enough that I couldn't hold a coffee cup. I was convinced that I'd have to quit racquetball. The neoprene tube completely eliminated the pain both during and after activity. That was over 20 years ago, and I never had the pain recur when I used the neoprene. The elastic-type support that Mark D. mentioned may also help, but I've only used those for ankle injuries not for inflammation. If you keep the joint warm during use, it will help. Good luck!
