re: Anyone had tennis elbow? What helped?

I've had it in both elbows. I tried cortizone shots and PT for the first one. Nothing helped. Had surgery and have had no problems since. The second one I bypassed all of the other crap and went straight for the surgery. Not a problem since in either one. The arm band helps but I feel it masks the injury. Cortizone feels great but I damaged my arm further because it felt great and I did the things that were causing me problems.
