Can i put heat on an elbow with tendinitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ice is usually best!: Tendonitis is due to inflammation, which is better treated with ice or cold. Also try an anti-inflammatory medication and a over the counter tennis elbow brace. If you don't feel better in a few weeks see a board certified orthopaedic surgeon.
