Getting rid of "swimmer elbow" (tenodnitis)

My own stubborn-ness (swimming through despite nagging elbow pain) left me with elbow tendonitis for like 2 1/2 months. Just thought I'd share how the three key things I did to get rid of it, since I know it's a problem. 1. Give it some rest and when you're ready, stretch everyday. The secret is to do forearm stretches, shoulder stretches, AND wrist stretches.. there's a few at www.mobilitywod.com 2. If you want to speed healing and eliminate inflammation, supplement with joint health nutrients and cissus. I used Elbow Revive simply because it's not expensive, it is effective, and has everything you need in it (www.elbowrevive.com). You could also buy each ingredient separate, but it'd be a pain in the ass. 3. Do eccentric exercises like reverse wrist curls (just google for others). These help strengthen the muscles and tendons so that the injury doesn't return. After doing all of these three thing religiously for like 6 weeks, I'm feeling like I'm back to where I was before the injury. Hope this helps! Stay healthy, peeps.

    I'm glad that Anchorblast solved his problem. I got elbow tendonitis more from using screwdrivers and hammers around the house. I just wanted to say if you have any elbow tendonitis problems, try a BandIt. I don't know why they work but they do, and quickly and effectively. I wasn't really sure if swimming was causing elbow tendonitis so I wore the BandIt for a while swimming and it was fine.
