[QUOTE="Look Up, post: 68366923, member: 265819"] The repeat physical stress apparently has contributed to inflammation; inflamed tissues in the elbow may include tendons, ligaments, even cartilage (you might be able to feel the cartilage pain?). Years ago my chiropractor had me take high dosages of Vitamin B6 for several weeks for carpal tunnel (tendon inflammation). It helped me eventually (actually using a product with B5 & B6). The right strains of bacteria in the colon produce B vitamins; a good brand of probiotics can help. (How's your digestion?) Collagen supplementation over time can help build connective tissues (possibly Genacol, a product with several collagen types in it). Red meat has various nutritional benefits, but has chemicals that tend to increase inflammation, so abstaining from red meat at least for a time may be worth trying. And what about the possibility of low bone density and a fracture? But then why both elbows at once--or does the worse one have a fracture? And can you learn ways of working that are less stressful to your elbows (maybe physical therapy)? Elbow braces? Or if the inflammation is new and elbow work has been going on for a while, is there something you can pinpoint as a cause? An extra stressful period? A perfect-storm combination of factors? A straw-that-broke-the-camel's-back trigger (which seems likely)? Meanwhile, better go easy on the elbows. Give your body time to heal/recover. I agree with the ice too, as a temporary help for acute inflammation accompanied by not stressing your elbows. Maybe periodic icing. And of course prayer; may the Lord strengthen and heal you!
