Avoid forceful gripping. Use a tennis elbow strap. Take anti-inflammatory meds. Ice and stretching (look on google for photo). Occasional cortisone injections.

Hope it helps!!

Tennis elbow is usually treated with stretching and strengthening of the inflamed lateral tendons of the elbow. This may involve a formal physical therapy evaluation. At PT, they may also use anti-inflammatory modalities like ultrasound and dry-needling to speed recover.

Rest, ice, exercises, and platelet gel injection.
