  | What's good for recurring Tennis elbow? Bloody thing flared up again after a monster arm session over the weekend.... I'm taking fish oils, Glucosamine etc, but I heard that stopping the weights altogether can actually prolong it...it's not hurting now, disappeared within seconds of me leaving the gym, but something inside doesn't feel quite right, I'm sure it's lurking... Do I just need to cut back the weight and go for maintenance? I've been breaking strength records all over the shop recently!!! Cheers, Keyser |

 | I would take it easy on the weights. Tennis elbow is when the nerve, which is exposed around your elbow is inflammed. Inflammation is a part of the natural healing process, however it is only the FIRST stage in healing damage or infection. It is necessary to move past this, and if you keep irritating it, the inflammation will continue. Take anti-inflammatories as well. x x x T |

 | Some times it is the nerve that moves around with motion in the arm. I had a friend (several really) that use these bands that are velcro that seem to keep that nerve from moving around. The band goes around an inch or so below the elbo and all the way around the forearm. This might be what you need.

| I think I've seen those bands, Scott....I'll keep an eye out for them, appreciate the tip. Tat - do you think I should leave the weights completely for a little while (Sorry Joe - our bet is STILL on and you're STILL going to lose!!!!!!!)??? or literally "take it easy" (maybe 70% of usual poundages?)

Thanks for the link, I did not know that stretching just a few minutes a day can relieve tennis elbo. Thanks Dave:beer1:
