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?

My right biceps brachii, I think it is, tendon (whatever long head, lower tendon is) has been nagging me since last year. I couldn't curl, or even do lat exercises without sharp pain. Sometimes I even had trouble placing the manual transmission for my car in reverse. Anyway, it would get a little better then go bad again, and again.
I read that article and decided to try. Four workouts later, which included specific eccentric (negative) arm curls for this at end of routine, the inflammation does not exist. In fact, I noticed improvement right after the first workout.
