'Tennis" elbow

So, like I have posted elsewhere, I've been back in the pool for three months now after 30 years away, and I'm suffering on and off from 'tennis' elbow. Is this just because I'm old now, or is it that I'm overtraining, or is it maybe related to a stroke problem that I should get a coach to look at? Appreciate the comments...

  • It's funny you mention the hot tob. I have a habit of going straight from the pool to the hot tub. Now that you mention it - it should be a no brainer, i.e. overheating and the inflammation that can go with it. I think I'd better change that habit! I've gotten a couple of email responses suggesting some good stretches. These also repeated your suggestion about icing. This is a great community and a great set of forum exchanges - has the same encouraging feel that being at a meet has. Thanks for your help.
