REHAB YOUR INJURY BY...
Icing: 15 minutes for 2 to 3 times per day, with at least one hour in-between.
Massage: Massage straight down and across the tendons that are sore in your elbow area. Use lotion to reduce 'sticking' on your skin.
Stretching: Straighten your elbow and pull your hand straight down. Hold the stretch for 15 seconds and release - do this 3 times. Go to the point of resistance and not beyond - more is not necessarily better.
Nerve Glide: With your arm straight, go out and back with your wrist extended and your fingers pointed back. Raise your arm up until you feel the nerve stretch up your arm, then lower your arm. Pump your arm up into the pain and then down out of the pain, about 10 to 15 times. As you pump more and more you should feel less pain.
