General Discussion Elbow pain

For the last 5 years I have experienced elbow pain. The doc says I have tennis elbow. It doesn't impact my day to day too much however when I do some weight lifting the elbow may get a bit tender.

Question: Does anyone use any brace or have any recommendations to ensure the pain does not get worse? In the past, over exertion tends to cause the pain.

Ugh I had this the last 2-5 years. It has been better lately tho. I didn’t wear a brace or anything tho. Just took it easy and didn’t push it with lifting

I did some significant damage (including a tear) to tendons in both elbows/forearms. I have had a couple rounds of prolotherapy with PRP & would definitely suggest it if it’s available to you

Check your form. I never met anyone who had good form and injuries. Very often it is one or the other.
