To raise a subject which strikes fear in the heartts of anyone who uses
their arms, has anyone got experience with tendonitis and its cure.  It has
gotten so bad I can hardly lift more than 15 pounds with my right arm with
or without pain.  Are their special exercizes that will help.  I tried
taking a month off, which helped but then it came right back.

I am not eeven sure it is tendonitis, but that is hjust my paranoia saying
to distrust anything a doctor says.

Thanks,

Bill Hornaday

Bill, I have recurring bouts with tendonitis too.  It's a pain just below 
my right elbow joint.  Sound familiar?  I bought a little velcro tennis 
thing, it works until I overstress it, then r & r is the only answer, and 
some ice in a zip-lock bag wrapped in terry cloth.  The cause is 
repetitive hammering in the same position, for long periods.  If you can 
hammer some, clean some, finish some, clean the shop, drink a beer, then 
do it all over again, the change is almost a beneficial as the rest, and 
you get your floor swept!
