Just curious.... define cheap. What does an injection cost?PRP will fix most of the time. Cheap and easy.
400... I had one before I had surgery a year agoJust curious.... define cheap. What does an injection cost?
sucks yes?
I wish I could figure it out. I honestly don't know what's causing it.Regardless of the treatment approach, figure out what caused it and don't do that again or else you'll just get it straight back. I had bad elbow tendinitis for years and have posted here about it. You can search for my treatment. Good luck!

I'm using the green and red bars now.Sorry, it's actually called a flex bar by theraband
@Luke...good advice. I have implemented some of your suggestions already. I bough a bench block(benchblokz) to shorten the range of motion on bench and I actually bought an armaid to get the knots out of my forearms. Maybe it's just me getting old. 44 Next month. What's funny is that the only compound movement that doesn't bother it is deadlifts.Herewith my post with some ideas:
I suffered from elbow tendinitis for years and after consulting with mountain climbers and gymnasts who are, in my experience, the tendinitis experts I got my problem under control.
1. Do not rest the joint but avoid any exercise that aggravates the injury. Experiment with changed exercises, range of motion, rep ranges, frequency, rest periods etc whatever it takes to keep exercising without pain. For example I stopped bench pressing and switched to floor press then board press, seated row changed ROM so elbows stopped at my sides rather than bar at my chest, changed v bar to wide bar, dropped weight to lift 15+ reps, stopped chin ups for a while then reintroduced with neutral grip and stopping with eyes level with the bar etc. Check wrist position throughout the course of the exercise to ensure the wrist stays straight and in line with the elbow and weight, use neutral grip wherever possible or reverse grip, exercises that cause the wrist to flex (such as using v bars or ez bar) or pull on an angle (such as seated row pulled to chest rather than stomach) greatly increase the load on the elbow tendons.
2. If pain occurs stop what you are doing immediately. Never try and exercise through the pain. Any aggravation sets back healing
3. Aggressive use of anti-inflammatories at any sign of pain. This includes higher than OTC recommended dosages. Talk to your doctor. Mine was relaxed about me doubling the daily dose of ibuprofen for a time
4. Massage of the forearm muscles and tendons. I just used to roll my forearms up and down on all angles using one of my fat gripz
Good luck!

I picked up some bpc-157. I'll let you know how it goes.Bpc-157. A peptide that has been shown to be very effective in curing tendinitis
