Tennis elbow?

Post by Morecowbell »

Last spring/summer I started practicing guitar much more than usual and developed tennis elbow on my fretting side. Did some research and backed off, it went away. Started playing again, and its creeping back. I did get an elbow strap and it seems to help but can't tell how much its really doing. Its annoying - don't if its form, age or something else, so was wondering if anyone else have advice on dealing with it?

Talk to your doctor. I think an elbow support won't hurt but I am not a doc. take care and let us know what you find out. best to you
