What is a very quick way to cure epicondylitis?

Relief or cure: Assuming tennis elbow or similar condition it occurs when the attached muscles/tendons are being pulled and torn from their bone attachments. Early on stretching to prevent further tearing and allow the area to heal longer may be all that is needed. As it increases medication, injections, bracing, and therapy may be needed. Surgery is the last option.

Start with RICE: Lateral epicondylitis (aka "tennis elbow") is a common overuse injury to the elbow. In order to treat the pain, i recommend you start with rice, follow with stretching/ strengthening (therapy), & consider couterforce bracing. If these treatments fail you may be a candidate for cortisone or prp injections. Some people end up needing surgery... http://drmarkgalland.com/category/elbow.
