There has been lots of new stuff to come down the pike since my last bout with tendinitis (which as back in the seventies when I was in graduate school). I could only tell byard what I had experience with. I guess I must be getting older. By the way, by my definition I'll never be old: Old is at least 10 years older than my present age.

Hey Mark and Byard,
There are two arm band devices.
The one is the neoprene band one, and the other is a Velcro strap with a airbladder in-between the straps. The airbladder is placed below the elbow on the sore side and the strap tightened. the strap and air bladder apply pressure to the spot below the elbow and Wha-la - less misery. It is a goofy looking thing, but very effective.
Cheers,
Alberta Al

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!
Mark
