How to deal with golfers elbow?

[spiffy0]

My golfers elbow is reaching a breaking point. I'm pretty much completely unable to do bicep exercises and a lot of discomfort is being felt, constantly. Has anyone here had to deal with this before? Would HGH maybe help heal it? Getting kinda desperate because even wraps, braces, ice, and aleve/advil aren't helping.

The toothless crack head says:

Are you doing back squats? Often times shoulder mobility is an issue for ppl and simply widening out their grip, reducing tension off the shoulders, helps alleviate the pain. It takes getting used to keeping the back tight with a wider grip but it’s possible. This can be the culprit even if you don’t feel pain on squats. For me, squats never hurt but benching, pressing, dips, etc all had tremendous pain on the concentric.

Get some voodoo floss from Rogue fitness and look up Dr. Kelly Starrett videos on golfer tennis elbow to show you what to do with the floss.

Another thing is to Wrap entire forearm from elbow to just below wrist very tight with voodoo floss. Use a lacrosse ball between your forearm at the muscles just below your elbow on the anterior and posterior sides and a bench. Put weight on the forearm pushing down on the ball and work it in circular patternto get me traction n the muscles.

I've had elbow tendinitis off and on for 30 years. I triggered it most recently by doing too much heavy grip work (deadlifts, farmer's walk, rows, pull-ups). Once it flared, it became impossible to do any underhand movements (aka curls) or heavy grip work. It took half a year, but I knocked it down to nothing, while continuing to lift the entire time.

1. Completely stopped all underhanded movements (including curls); I could still do neutral grip movements, but didn't do hammer or overhand curls since these still aggravated things (just not as much as underhand).
2. Bought Nordic Lifting elbow sleeves, and put them on 30+ minutes before every workout (incl. legs).
3. Bought Versa Grip Pro grips, and used them for every single pulling movement (rows, cable work, deadlifts, ...).
4. Bought DashSport counterforce straps for both forearms. Wore one set during every workout (incl legs), and another set for daily use. They stopped making the exact ones I got, but there are other ones with a similar design (needs the gel pad to press down on top half of forearm).

#1 to #3 halted the flare up and slowly let it recover. I didn't do #4 until months later, and within days it completely knocked down what was left of my flare up. I can't describe how impressed I was by the straps. When I feel a flare up start now, I put the strap on and it is gone in a day or two.

Compression sleeve, heavy neoprene sleeve for press/bench movements. Heavy floss bands before and after workout and rest. When mine flares its a reminder to back off. Cycles with deca and hgh will help but it probably won't cure. It didn't for me.

Quit golfing immediately

Rest
I kept on mine and now I need surgery and can't powerlift. Let it rest and avoid aggravating movements

Surgery then HGH

If you can find a way to avoid going under the knife I would suggest that. I know surgery isn't always a game changer but it often means more than just correcting an existing issue. It often comes with its own complications and difficulties.

Prehab, not rehab.
