What is the rice solution for golfer's elbow? i have rested my elbow for more than 4 months and i still have it!

See below: Rice is an acronym for rest ice compression and elevation. If it has been that long and you are still not seeing noticeable improvement, then a follow up with your physician would be appropriate to investigate other causes/treatments.

Rice?: Rice typically stands for rest, ice, compression, elevation. If it is not better by now, a cortisone shot and a brace is usually the next step.
