[TheForge] elbow

[Wayne Ackman]

The best long term help is to keep your elbow strapped up when you are 
putting stress on it.  
whenever I am in the shop I put my armband on.  The strap will create an 
alternative pivot point
for the tendon.  That helps.
Tendonitis is a chronic inflammation problem.  I use curcumin as an 
anti-inflammatory.  It works real well
for me.  Others use advil, etc or glucosamine/chondroitin.  But curcumin 
(its a tumeric root extract)  was my
best find.  I even tried cortison shots at one point and they did 
virtually no good at all.
