I teach tennis for a living and tennis elbow is caused from something different that you are doing and then tennis aggravates it. It's repetitive motion of the elbow that causes it. So a few times I will get a zing in my elbow when I teach but because of what I did on the weekend. Like vacuum, hammer, clean windows or brush the pool. But it's the repetitive motion. So when I play tennis I will get a zing in my elbow but that makes me think more on better technique when I hit and it goes away. I ask people i teach if they had done something differnt, they always say no but with a few questions we figure out that they painted or they started lifting heavier weights and then that is the caus But there are straps that go on the forearm that work great because they stop the vibration from going to the elbow. Rang from 15 to 50 bucks. And you wear them all time while you are injured. To take care of tennis elbow use the Dixie cup method after every use. Get Dixie cup fill it almost filled of water freeze it. After frozen rip top inch of paper cup to get to the ice and rub it all over the elbow basically 3 to 4 times a day along with taking anti inflamitory. To work out tennis elbow get a small bouncy beach ball the cheap ones in the tall cage displays. With your hand wide using your fingure tips squeeze the ball higher than your head against a wall and bounce as fast as you can for 20 secs but like less then a inch of the wall really close and do a couple of reps a day to strength it but only do this if your arm is feeling fine don't do while injured. Then if non of that works what the hell do I know.
