I have chronic tendonitis in my elbow. Does anyone know if those patches actually work or not?

Answer 1

Well, you should actually use ice or and ice pack because tendonitis, means that then tendons in your elbow are swollen and therefore need ice to reduce the swelling. Heat tends to increase swelling causing more pain even though it will initially feel great. Have you tried Icy Hot, Pain killers, and perhaps putting your elbow in a sling to immobilize it so that it can be rested?
