Tennis/golfer’s elbow/both?
I began experiencing pain in my right arm about a month ago. I tried just using my left for a while but then got the same pain in that also. I went to the doc and she determined i have tennis elbow and prescribed motrin, a pair of tennis elbow braces, and regular ice/heat and rest. It’s been a few weeks now and it’s not a lot better. The odd thing is, i have pain on the outside of my arm AND the inside (all in forearm). Also, im now having swelling in my right arm and hand. Can anyone shed some light on this and if im doing the right thing? Thanks!!
Thanks for clearing that up! My next question is: where should i wear the brace? I have pain in the tendon and the lower extensor muscles so i am not sure where to put the pressure point. And the outer side of my forearm is swollen in one spot (kind of halfway between elbow and wrist - if you look down at your arm with palm turned down). So i’m confused where the pressure point should be… Any advice?

Yep. You got tennis elbow and golfers elbow and you need to rest it. No pulling, no pushing, and no lifting.
As medical imaging has improved, we can now see that problems we previously thought were "tendinitis" (inflammation of the tendon) are really degenerative changes in the tendon ("tendinosus"). That’s why treatments to help inflammation (like ice, rest, and anti-inflammatory medications) didn’t always cure the problem. There’s a new treatment performed by specially trained physical therapists called ASTYM. The technique has a documented success rate of 89.8% for tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow) and 93.3% with golfer’s elbow (pain on the inside). You can check out their website to find a certified therapist in your area. Good Luck!
