first bout of TE was back in 1983. went from a 3/8 to 5/8 and it went away.
fast forward 40 years, it's back! have been toeing the line with slight elbow/forearm discomfort for the last month or so and my game is really coming around...and tuesday this week...POP...my elbow/forearm gave way on a big forehand. like i couldnt make a fist, i couldnt hold my racquet, nothing.
quickly on it with ice and carpet-bombed with various anti-inflammatories...and got it under control.
thursday this week, felt good enough to at least hold my racquet and swing around easily...went out to the courts to test it out.
net: i can hit backhands. i can serve. but forehands...not so much. i can actually *hit* forehands, but the follow-thru is where it my TE starts yelping.
continuing NSAIDS, stretching, and started flex-bar PT. taking the weekend off and will re-evaluate tuesday next week.
