Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I may be the only one so FWIW.
I play a lot of golf, and I’ve added pickleball a couple times a week over a year ago. A new heavier paddle and more play in October seemingly led to tennis elbow right arm. It was so bad at the start I couldn’t lift a coffee cup! It did get better with ice, heat and rest and I resumed pickleball using an elbow brace. Didn’t get any worse, but it hasn’t healed yet either months later.
I spend way too much time on my desktop Mac every day. A couple days ago I noticed a twinge in the bad elbow while using a mouse, I was leaning back in my chair operating the mouse with an outstretched arm. So I looked into proper computer ergonomics, and that’s a no no. I also found computer elbow and tennis elbow are indeed the same thing - lateral epicondylitis. [I’d studied and practiced proper computer ergonomics at work, but I’d forgotten…]
So I’ve spent less time at my desktop and used proper ergonomics and after a few days my elbow actually feels better. Hopefully I’m finally on the road to tennis elbow recovery.
Too soon old, too late smart…
