Triceps tendinitis help!

[jdog_1]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and am writing out of desperation. I have had triceps tendinitis for months now. I've done the standard things,(months of rest, ice, etc since my wife is a physical therapist) and tennis is the only thing that flares up my elbow. I can lift weights comfortably.

My questions:
1) can anyone recommend a brace for triceps tendinitis, also called posterior tennis elbow?
2) I wonder if my racquet could be a cause. I use the old Head Titanium Midsize TiClassic. Any thoughts?

I've come to the forum to try to seek out fellow sufferers. When all the rest and ice aren't working, I need to find other solutions.

Thanks,
JD

what aggravated this condition (backhands, forehands, overheads, topspin, etc)?

Thanks for the reply.

I have a full western forehand and eastern topspin backhand. The forehand is the problem. The backhand doesnt hurt unless I really stretch and hyperextend my elbow.

appears that the topspin rotation aggravates this condition. after sufficient recovery, it's recommended to string with a softer string and lowered tension. however i feel ur pain since i'm recovering as well and the topspin forehand really aggravates mine. i'm gonna try and hit flat forehands for a while and see how it goes.

allow sufficient recovery time and good luck. this TE thing suxxx.
