Physocal therapist here: Rice actually isnt the best approach.

Get a comprrssion sleeve to help manage swelling elevate when resting.

Need to get the knee moving tonrestore any lost range of motion and start a strengthening program focuaing on quads, hamstrings and hips using movements and ranges of motions that arr tolerable. Feel free to email with any questions johnpaul@guidrypt.com

PT here: Dry needling is very hit or miss. Try loading the tendon via sexercises below, slow on the way down and can also do isometric holds. Dont force into pain greater than 4-5/10

Therabar exercises are great as well

Minimize hitting off mats, decrease swings i.e. hit less balls.when practicing and can look into thicker grips if it becomes a chronic thing

Also some mobility work every day and 2 to 3 days of strength training wouldnt hurt either
PT here:

Unfortunately alot of places will do what you are afraid of.

They should do a thorough examnation of your neck, shoulders, thoracic spine and even below looking at strength and mobility.

As wellas take into account your history and aggravating activities.

Then design a program based of that information as well as your goals.

Treatment ahould consist of manual therapy and exercise locally as well as global exercise and activity management

id check contact. Spray your face with powdered foot spray and see where you are hitting the ball on the face. Most likely losing it toward heel if this is the issue.

its usually a symptom of something else most commonly shifting to far lateral to trail side on backswing or poor sequencing usually initiating downswing with upper not lower body. Could also be a physocal limitation like poor hip and or trunk mobility on left side
Mind body swing, Chris Burkstaller at Island, Paxton clabaugh at Pelcian Point, Rob murphy at copper mill all.good options
i have used it personally and have had multiple clients use it all with good success. IMO the best speed training system on the market
PRGR, stack radar or shotscope are all good options around $200

is this at shoulder or elbow?
Dont hit off mats and manage amount if swings. can also try wrist brace to provide stability. try these exercises to strengthen area

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

Injecton can help but not guaranteed
Have twlked to a few people that have looked into it. Land is too pricy which tends to be the hangup
focus in press ups and avoid laoded flexion or compresaive loads LINK
Going barefoot can be good for some and make it worse for others. For some more support is needed. The solution is manage load especially if a runner. Loaded eccentrics via calf raise variations, Self stretching and time

Played it about a month ago. Great track. Highly Recommend

Mind Body Swing

Chris B. at the Island

Two great options
Measure circumference of waist around belly button and track that along with weight. Could be recompositiin Also need to be 100% sure you are in a calorie deficit if trying to lose weight with or without meds.
If in alot of pain you will be glad you did it. Will have some mobility limitations but should be pain free when its all said and done and have the majority of function.

3 to 6 months to full recovery
