A member asked:
Periodic elbow pain and tightness. usually worsens after a lot of writing. is this tendinitis? anything i can do for it without seeing a doctor?

Epicondylitis: you likely have epicondylitis. Wear a tennis elbow band you can buy at most pharmacies and Google exercises for tennis elbow. nSAIDs generally do not help. Give it time.
