Change your grip if it's your plastering arm , I used to wrap cotton around the handle and duck tape it, it does work , use a spat for flattening,use your other arm as much as possible, tennis elbow can vanish quickly ,but rest is important
Cheers will try this!

if steven Hawkins can do what he does without joining a forum and asking for help about his fu@kin elbow then i'm pretty certain you'll get by in life...like me dad used to say " your neither sugar nor salt so you wont fukin melt ".............but I do suffer with it myself so I know how you feel ..I use an ice pack at home and some ralgex spray at work ( just to let everyone else at work know i'm in pain)

Ice it for 10mins at a time. Repeat 3 times, try to find the pressure spots in your forearm and bicep and press on them following them all the way to the elbow. That will cut your muscles some slack, then massage your forearm from your wrist to elbow stretching the muscles and from your shoulder to your elbow.

Straps are great and slowly you get your arm back. Get a Nela if you haven't already they take the strain off massively. There's also a good exercise - fill a water bottle and rest your arm on the arm of the sofa so your hand is hanging off the end holding the bottle. Move your hand by the wrist up and down slowly (yeah yeah ha ha etc...) and then rest. Repeat.

I used a therabar to do exercises. You can look them up on you tube. They helped me.
Took me an absurdly long time to get over it but it did get better. (took about a year to be back at 100%.) Use your off hand more and adjust your motion. I had to lay on using the inside edge of my towel and the most painful thing was using a bucket scoop. Something about that motion would kill me every time. Hope you heal quick.

I get told off for that already but will replace .,,. With a water bottle.
Cheers buddy.

I tried acupuncture, 25 quid a pop for 8 sessions it did f**k all, just use my left hand as much as possible, instead of trying to apply pressure by turning my right wrist into the trowel now I hold my wrist locked in the trowel angle and lean with the shoulder so isolate the elbow as much as possible.
As said above scooping with bucket trowel is a killer, let the labourer do it.
I also found lifting anything with my arm straight aggravated it so I try not to be lazy and bend down properly to lift whatever I'm after, it's not flared up for a good few months now at 1 point I couldn't lift the kettle and tip it, and that's just not on

If you've had it for over couple months and hasn't gone away. Go to your local gym and get chatting to the meat heads and get some "gear" of them u only need half a tablet for 3-5 days in the mornings 5mg. I've had tennis elbow for months at a time and both times I've done this it's cleared up and completely gone by the 3-4th day I know it sounds a bit out there but it works 100% and it was actually a nurse that told me it's what they should be used for

Anavar or dianabol the best. Winstrol makes u loose your hair anything else would be too strong and crash your natural testosterone levels after a week of taking

I’ve posted this a couple of times from when I suffered with it. Worked for me on the elbow and worked well for Lodans wrist. Same principle with overworked muscles.

That's the best advice there is. Well apart from dropping right down to an 11in trowel.

@Nath80 still in the forest in 2050 wondering if the pandemic is over yet with kinkyboy ( only work 4 hours a month enough for me , more time with the wife ‘ what fun they’d be in a forest for 30 years
Forget the pills and injections, if you don't change what or how you're doing it'll come back.
Lot of good advice on here, wish I'd heard it when I had it, had to boff it out the hard way.
Tore the muscles near my elbow using a fckn lump hammer wrong a few months back now and still not right, basically the same thing to fix it..

Agree, but need to do tons of stretches daily as well cause it’s shorten of the tendon and need to stretch it back out best as poss
