Hi Sad and Scared.

First off, stop whining.

I don't say that to be a jerk, I say that to get you to get a grip and figure out the problem and find the solution.

Pain only frightens us when we don't understand it. When we don't know the cause, when we don't know how to make it go away.

Ironically, that fear and that pain can be a great teacher.

So.

Start reading.

These pages:

Tendonitis

Pain Causing Dynamic

Follow various links from those pages and read them too.

End up at this page: How To Reduce Inflammation

Follow directions for Ice Dipping your lower arm and elbow. Do that seriously for a full 7 days. Then get back to me with an update and questions.
