Wear that strap all the time. Ice it when it hurts a lot. Avoid things
that aggravate it like hammering and tennis. Suck it up and live with it.
It's an irreversible condition. I know. Been there, done that, got the T
shirt.

Nonsense. It goes away -- as long as you quit doing whatever it was that
caused it. Obviously, you didn't. There isn't anything special about tennis
elbow. It's an inflammation of the tendon(s) in the elbow. Treat the
inflammation with rest, ice, and anti-inflammatories, avoid the actions that
produced it in the first place, and, like any inflammation, it goes away and
doesn't come back.Until you re-injure it, that is.

I've been there, done that, iced it down, had enough sense to wear the strap
when I needed to, and it went away and has stayed away.
