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?

I have a similar problem on occasion but I know what's wrong.
In 1979 I was thrown through the windshield of my brother-in-laws ambulance
in a highway crash.
I must have hit my arm on the windshield frame on the way out...or when I
landed in the ditch...just a couple of feet in front of the vehicle.
I had a badly broken arm with nerve damage. Reminds me of a bit when you
hit your funny bone.
I sometimes take an extra-strength Tylenol.
As far as strength...I dilgently went to rehab for months on end and
actually ended up able to handle heavier weights than before the accident.
(I have a trophy to prove it)..
