YEP lol i have the exact same thing i carried on training for 2weeks really hammered my trys oneday, now i have been of the gym for 4weeks as everytime i try to work my left tri my elbow kills. Im using cissus and obviously resting much to my dismay as i hate resting. It has got better but still hurts so im trying to get an mri scan.

thinking maybe by an elbow support? but cant see what it would do, i think its a tendon problem or something

It would help but i would take time off mate. I think its a tendon as well poss a small tear. It hurts me on the outside of my elbow where it joins the tricep. Apparently can take 8-12weeks to fully heal which really annoys me.

i cant really afford to take time off, maybe a week or two. otherwise id get ultra bored and frustrated i reckon.

Thats what i have done. Took a week of here and there for my back etc. When it first happened i ignored it and kept training my tris and it just made it worse. You can keep training but chances are it wont get better. I hate having time of but this week will be my 5th now apart from legs which im still training. Its really upto you but having just 1-2 weeks wont do anything unfortunatly wish it was that quick.
