The exercise my Dr. gave me was to tie a can of soup onto the center of a broom handle with about 24 inches of thin rope then with palms facing down turn the broom handle away from yourself till the can rises to the top. Then do the opposite to lower it. Ibuprofen for pain & inflammation. Cold for swelling. Heat brings blood to the area so you don't want that. Wear an elbow brace. Rest it when possible.

Initial treatment includes:
* Avoiding activities that aggravate the problem
* Resting the injured area
* Icing the area the day of the injury
* Taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicines
If the condition does not improve in a week, see your doctor. You may need more advanced treatments, including:
* Corticosteroid injections. Corticosteroids (often called "steroids") are often used because they work quickly to decrease the inflammation and pain.
* Physical therapy. This can be very beneficial, especially for a "frozen shoulder." Physical therapy includes range of motion exercises and splinting (thumb, forearm, bands).
* Surgery. This is only rarely needed for severe problems not responding to other treatments.

Tendinitis in the elbow and forearm is caused by a weak muscle about the size of a quarter. Sports stores sell a nice device to work this muscle and therefore relieve the tendinitis.
Or, hang your wrist, palm up, over the end of a table and do reps with a 5lb weight. You will see the muscle being isolated and worked.
Take ibuprofen for pain and inflammation

Use ice for 10 to fifteen minutes some circumstances an afternoon. Take some anti inflammatory. heat up ordinary and correctly formerly workout, cool down and do comfortable stretching. by way of fact the tendons have a limited blood bypass it takes longer to heal than muscular tissues.

Physical therapy is the only one that I know of, but if you find a better on, let me know.
