This problem probably stems from playing tennis as it did for me. I use the brace and shortly after my elbow returned to normal.
Best of luck!
Interesting that you mention the arm brace because that's what started the conversation with the captain I mentioned. Every time it was his leg, I noticed him put a compression band on his left arm so I asked him about it and he told me about the tendon thing. He said he went down to the employee clinic and told them about the pain and they gave him the brace right then and there. Made me think it must be something they know about or have dealt with in the past. I might have to look into that...
Did you notice anything in your wrist too or just in the elbow? Both problems for me started at about the same time.
