While I was swimming 5 miles on Monday (first time doing this distance), my right elbow started hurting and it did again today when doing an easy 2 miles before work. With my arm outstretched, palm facing up, the pain is on the right, outside side of my elbow, which I think might be lateral epicondylitis, as opposed to medial epicondylitis. I will see the NP in the orthopedic/sports medicine office tomorrow. He's the same guy who misdiagnosed my foot injury for months, which eventually required major surgery that put an end to my long-distance running so I will also follow up with a sports medicine specialist, but may not be able to see him until June 23rd.
In the meantime, any tips on the best type of catch and pull that will not put further stress on this part of my elbow?

Good article Craig. Over the past year I have experienced tendonosis of both the left elbow (medial) and shoulder. A shoulder MRI revealed "severe tendonosis". Did not get an elbow MRI. I had a great PT who had me do tons of eccentric work. No ice. No anti inflammatories. Both problems were fully resolved in about 6 weeks.
