Luckily, my mother was a lefty....

Anyone have any experience with tennis elbow? At least that is what I think is going on with my right elbow, could also be a touch of bursitis. Can't extend it open all the way, or completely bend it either. Picking up and gripping large/heavy objects is not good either. Had intemitten twinges here over the years but this particular problem started on saturday. By sunday I couldn't touch my nose with the right arm, which is making brushing my hair and teeth a bit of a challenge.

Which is where my mother comes in..... Being raised by a lefty I'm a little more ambidextorous than average. Can't write with the left hand but can operate a 10-key pad if need be. I'm still predominately right-handed but flexible with the left which is coming in handy right now.

I've been trying the usual joint remedies with little success so far. Iced last night which helped a little. Am trying those arthritis patchs at work today. Trying to keep using it, albeit gently, to keep the muscle limber. Swimming after work so I'll ice, then arnica gel it after that. Need to get in a bit of sewing tho. Fortunately it is small easy things.
