I've had pretty bad tendonitis (self diagnosed) in my right elbow for a few years. Left elbow isn't nearly as bad and is almost completely healed now. I beleive mine was caused from years of repetitive motion from weight lifting and has gotten much better since I stopped lifting. I started doing yoga about a year ago and that seems to help significantly. It sucks getting older.

had pain around my elbow in my right arm yrs ago that wouldn't go away.
Dr asked if I sleep on my right side and on the right side of the bed with my arm hanging out past the mattress . (That's me)
May Sound stupid, but he said to change my sleeping position so my arm won't hang over the edge of the bed, He said its like over extending U elbow backwards.
After a while the pain started to just slowly go away.

Repeatative abuse to joints damages ligaments, soft tissue damage takes forever to heal. In my case husband and dr laughingly call my injury Gardeners Elbow. No tennis foe me. What made the world of difference was an Aircast Elbow Tendinitis wrap. I pull it out now when I am doing repeatative work like shovel earth or wash windows.

I get it occasionally, if I take it easy a few days it goes away. Sometimes it takes a month. Last year I got a strap from a doctor that I wrap around my forearm. I try to use it as often as possible. Its a major difference

Pure black cherry juice, from a health food store. 2-3 oz a day seems to do the trick. It takes a week or so to kick in, so don't expect immediate results.
