Never had any issues with elbow pain, not sure if it is a coincidence, I bought some strings which turned out to be fake and from the get go felt stiff (stiff even at 38lbs!!). After a few days of play, elbow pain on the inside part (golfer's elbow??!).

Rested it for 4/5 days, it felt better but flared up again after 2 sets. Seems to hurt more on backhand side.

Anyone have similar experiences and how to get better asap?

I had the same thing i had to go out for 5 weeks just ice you will need to use synthetic gut for the whole time you get back on court and if not getting better cortisone. The best thing was a massage and voltaren gel hope you feel better.

I found massage very helpful in similar issue, so you should probably get massage regularly.

Golfer's Elbow is more likely to be caused by the serve - you might try hitting for 15 minutes and not hitting any serves to see if that isolates the problem.

I'd recommend a lot of rest and the use of the Flexbar, and, of course, getting rid of the harsh strings.

Turns out it is a nerve issue. I use the pc a lot and I sleep on my side usually with a bent elbow, will try to stop these things.
