You can use Massage therapy, to treat it.
Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation are also key. "RICE"
It can cause postural problems, in the long run- so its best to seek out a massage therapist to make sure that you dont end up with a whole wealth of body aches, to add to the tendonitis. When your posture changes, and becomes abnormal, which it will do, to overcompensate for other smaller issues- you end up having postural related pain problems, pulled muscles, tender points and trigger points, added stress, and more.
Massage therapists can really help you to treat the tendonitis issue, and also keep your body in balance, which will help decrease your recovery time. =)

The answer is yes. Tendons bond bone to muscle. Itis is a Latin term meaning "inflammation" or swelling. Thus, tendinitis is an inflammation of the tendon(s) in your elbow. For the first 24 hours, you use ice to help control swelling. After that, alternate heat and ice. Twenty minutes heat, wait a couple hours, 20 minutes ice. I have had the condition so bad that I could actually feel and hear the tendon "squeaking" in there. It is a painful injury that they usually like to give silicone injections for. My philosophy is simple; if God had wanted it in my body, he would have put it in there before I was born. Try to immobilize as much as possible. I used to alternate the heat and ice one right after the other for an hour at a time, but that me.

umm...i had it in my foot! It was a killer at times. I never knew they did surgery for that stuff. Mine went away on it's own, but i did stop wearing a pair of shoes that helped cause it. It took a while for it to go away...there would be days when it didn' hurt, but it'd come bac. It was like a year maybe, haven't had it since *knocs on wood*

You didnt point out your age yet i'm 20 and that i heal alright with doing my exercises and going to PT in basic terms two times each and every week(undergo in techniques i domy exercises at homestead two times an afternoon), i promise it willll get extra common. im virtually at my finished selection in action returned. it is going to harm and in case you dont push it atleast slightly extra each and on a daily basis you could never get that action returned. the warmest water you could stand with out burning your epidermis willl assist you progression it because of fact it loosens ligaments and muscle mass that are linked to the elbow and reason you much less discomfort. a heatpad of a few sort could artwork in basic terms besides or a heat towel. undergo in techniques that it is a extreme injury and you dont wanna rigidity it too plenty. youve in basic terms gotta grin and undergo a great volume of the discomfort. identity recommend googling the terrific exercises in accordance with PT's expert critiques on line. sturdy good fortune. :)

hi
you could sure try
some soft cotton or sponge under it when you rest your elbows on a table
prefer to fold your arms to your chest
or rest them on your body
it is not a cure
but helps relieve the pain in a few weeks
