A member asked:
Have medial epicondylitis for past 6 weeks, having physio. i work in a nursery am wondering go much i should be doing eg lifting kids and nappies etc?

Rest it: If it is not getting better then you are probably doing too much lifting. I had the same thing and it took months to heal. Not till I stopped lifting much of anything with my hand facing down did it get better.Be patient and give it as much rest as you can and give it time. Good luck.
