Back on the subject of remedies, I'm sure a Google search will pull up all kinds of info but I'll give a quick summary of what works for me (and I've tried just about everything.)

• Do an online search for Tennis Elbow Brace. It's pretty much like a guitar capo for your tendon. It relieves pressure at the elbow.
• Ibuprofen.
• Ice. Wrap an ice pack in a towel and ice often.
• Acupuncture. I was somewhat skeptical but I was getting desperate; I couldn't hold a shaver without shooting pains in my arm and could barely turn a doorknob. 5 minutes after the guy starts putting needles in my legs (yup, needling the legs to fix the arms) the pain magically subsides. It's actually the thing that works best for me but insurance will only allow me so many sessions.

Everybody's different though so what worked for me may not map 100% to you.
