don't play tennis and let that elbow heal. you start messing with anti-inflammatories and you will just make yourself worse long term.
and of course the doc will prescribe that, thats what docs do, hand out pills.. they don't care about your long term health
and i also recommend acpuncture treatments to get the blood flowing better in your elbow. but i get the same thing when i play tennis, its just overtraining between the tennis and lifting. so just lay off tennis for a while
when your body gets inflammation that is ITSELF trying to repair the injury, so when you shut that off and keep pounding away you are just gonna cause more damage. yeah you will feel better short term but long term you are gonna screw yourself. think about it. i cannot believe how many docs give out anti-inflammatories like candy without even asking if you lift weights and explaining the long term consequences
inflammation is a sign of OVERTRAINING, so back off and listen to your body.
