What helps with this condition. 52 years old got it from daily push ups and throwing baseball with kids. At this point its so bad that I cant do curls with a bar (DB only), pullups and dips are excruciating.

Is there a good compression sleeve to wear or what does the board recommend?

What helped me was a mix of things --a targeted elbow sleeve for tendonitis, regular forearm stretching, and exercising the forearm with lightweight isolation curls. Suuuuper light, 2-5lbs. You can massage the forearm by putting pressure on the affected tendons to loosen them as well.

Had to learn to pay better attention to form when doing anything heavy with curling/lifting motions so that my whole arm was in sync with the move. Also pay close attention to how often you are folding your arms with pressure, such as computer work or reading.

ETA- this mcdavid is the one i used, depending on your size another make may be better

Buy therabands and a flexbar. Google video for rehab for either tennis elbow (outside) or golfers elbow (inside).

It takes daily exercises for 7 or 8 weeks. I have tennis elbow right now from lifting and started these on sunday

Airrosti but they don’t have any locations in Louisiana. Helped me with tendinitis during college while playing baseball

I'm so sorry that you are dealing with this. I had it 3 years ago. They only thing that helped me was to stop lifting for a long time (months). It takes a long time to heal.
