What is epicondylitis?
Epicondylitis is a disorder that is also known as tennis elbow.
The doctor may recommend: splint for the hand; physiotherapy; thermal procedures; acupuncture.
Take a pain reliever if needed, keep your hand at rest, and make only minor efforts.

Third doctor and an assessment with a physiotherapist and apparently I have tennis elbow!
I don't play tennis, the only thing I do repeatedly is walk a strong dog and pick up an unwilling chihuahua from wet ground.
This could go on for up to two years, but I have some exercises to do and a brace to help. Key is not to avoid doing things cos it hurts, otherwise the muscles deteriorate. So I'm glad I can do what I want!
In early Feb, right elbow pain made lifting loads and opening jars difficult. Doc said it was probably related to keyboard or mouse operation; prescribed analgesic pads and stretching exercises. Didn't know "mouse elbow" was a thing, but she said it was fairly common. Got a new mouse, started stretching; still feeling twinges, but recovering.
