Diagnosed with tennis elbow about six months ago. Didn't realize what it was so fought through it for a couple weeks prior to diagnosis. Eventually cut out lifting and just did HIIT training. Eventually got a cortisone shot and didn't do anything for a month. Felt great. Bought a Bell compression cuff for when I was able to lift again. After a month I think I slightly tweaked it fucking with my truck. That was about 2 months ago. I was lifting lightly in my garage for about a month without much issue (three times a week) but recently (past two weeks) got back into lifting 5 times a day (zyzz bro split routine) at a gym. Elbow starting to flare up again. Hesitant to do a cortisone shot again. I have a theraband flex bar I use occasionally.
This shit is persistent as hell. How does one get over this. Talk about a lingering problem. FYI, I'm 44 so I'm sure age is a factor. Any advice is appreciated.
