I had chronic tennis elbow for about 2 years, but over the last 6 months I have been icing it every night (I make ice blocks in Dixie cups and tear off the top of the cup so I can hold it by the bottom and massage the area with the ice block), doing some exercises with a light weight and applying some Capsaicin cream twice a day (be careful with this since you do not want to get it in your eyes, I use a disposable surgical glove to apply it). The capsaicin cream effectively masks the pain, so you can do the exercises that in the long run will strengthen the area and get you back to normal.

I also got on every prayer list I could!

It has finally resolved the problem, but I am certainly cautious about things that may aggrevate it.

Hope some of these ideas help.
