I had it so bad after a hard tennis match that I couldn’t lift my cell phone. I iced it, rested it a few weeks and squeezed a tennis ball ten times 2-3 times a day. It went away.

I'm actually having PRP done today. I got cortisone back in November and got about a week of relief from it. I have a partial tear in the tendon and hoping the PRP works to avoid surgery.

Did you get some imaging done to get that diagnosis? Let me know how the PRP goes and if you get some noticeable relief.

Theraband - flex bar - works / go to Amazon and get one and do it several times a day / you will wake up in a couple weeks and realize you don’t have tennis elbow anymore

Any particular exercises with the flex bar?

Get you a wrist brace with the metal bar in it. Wear it to bed. It will keep your wrist in a neutral position which keeps your elbow from having stress on it. Everyone when they sleep goes into fetal position which constantly puts stress on your elbow. Try it, it works.

It was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. It lasted for about 12-18 hours of just miserable throbbing but began to subside. The injection has quit hurting, but the tennis elbow still seems to be about the same. Hopefully it begins healing.

Yup, that is pretty consistent. I'm going to be real with you, the tennis elbow pain is not going to get better anytime soon. It will take a few months for the plasma to run through your blood before you start feeling relief. I think it took me about 3 months before I started feeling relief.

shock doctor brace is the best I've found. It's a compression sleeve that has the tendon pads also.

Amazon Link

Flex bar as well. I've been dealing with it for almost 1.5 years at this point. I did 2 steroid shots that both offered relief for a month each. Did 3 months of weekly PT which really didn't help all that much.

The brace allows me to still play with relatively no pain. I do the flexbar 2-3 daily.

When they looked at it, they said I had 3 micro tears.

Try these and back off swings for a bit. Can also look at bigger grips if a constant issue
