kry226, hopefully you heal quickly and completely.

Nathan, I don't know how old you are, but I'm in my mid 60's so this may or may not apply to you. I had surgery to do a trigger release on my left thumb and while I was doing the work up with the surgeon, I asked him about my tennis elbow on my right arm. He asked me what arm I used to most to lift my cup to drink with. I told him my right arm, then he asked me how big of a Yeti or Arctic cup I used. I told him the 30 ounce one and he told me to drop down to a 20 ounce and see if it gets better. Low and behold, it healed within a month. On my last checkup, I asked him what was going on. He said that when we drink, we just pick up the cup at any angle or distance but when lifting weights we pay more attention to form. He also said we do so many repetition that the number and lack of form can cause problems.
I had tried braces and a steroid shot and they were short term fixes. I have not had any pain in my elbow in almost a year now.
Just something to think about.
