Default Tennis elbow???

Oh man, my arm hurts. I thought I'd slept on it wrong a couple weeks
ago, but that usually clears up in a day . The problem I'm having is
pain from the outside of the elbow on my right arm and it travels up
to my middle fingers. I know of a few people who have experienced this
and say there is a bad that one can wear around the fore-arm that can
help to get rid of the pain and possible put all back in order, but I
haven't explored the idea yet. It's starting to become difficult to
grip hand tools.

Anybody had any experience with this?


It's probably some sort of repetetive stress injury similar to Carpal
Tunnel. Any idea what might have caused/provoked it? If so, give
it a rest for awhile. You can buy wrist braces that look something
like a bowling glove that will prevent sleeping with your wrist
crooked. Something like Advil will also help.
