Same as you, if I ever skip my rehab on rest days etc it comes back with a vengeance, though since starting my Super Duper Incredible Tennis Elbow Recovery Program (TM) I've had lots of improvement. I noticed it takes my 'worse' arm longer to warm up than the healthier one, though once I'm warmed up I notice very little pain. Tennis Elbow is a bit of a bastard in my experience because once you are properly warmed up the pain goes away nearly completely and I only notice how much damage I'm doing after the session
Quote from: mctrials23 on March 11, 2015, 10:04:52 amReally simple question guys. I'm sure loads of you have had tennis elbow over the years but I was wondering if you ever found that it reduced the blood supply to the affected forearm / hand. I have been struggling with it for the past year on and off. I'm an idiot and when its find I tend to ease up / stop the rehab and then it suddenly takes a nosedive and I'm pissed off and regretting my laziness.Sometimes if I warm up perfectly its mostly alright and doesn't affect my session but I'm not entirely sure what this perfect warm up is or I would do it every time. If I don't manage this, I have issues with the arm getting pumped super quickly and staying pumped for way longer than it should do and never really recovering.Same as you, if I ever skip my rehab on rest days etc it comes back with a vengeance, though since starting my Super Duper Incredible Tennis Elbow Recovery Program (TM) I've had lots of improvement.

Mine started off as the dull ache and it got ignored for long enough to progress to serious pain during training seasons. The fatigue thing is even worse though, the complete lack of power can be seriously depressingI've always rehabbed it just enough to keep it at the dull ache stage I think. I'm going to try and make sure that I properly heal it now hopefully.I've just ordered an ergonomic keyboard to help with it and bought one of those theraband flexbars to rehab it properly. I always found the dumbell negatives a bit of an effort and not very comfortable on my wrist.
