Tendonitis?

in March 2014 Moms
Has anyone dealt with it before? I've been hanging out with Dr. Google and I'm pretty sure I've got tendonitis in my elbow.

The pain came on gradually over a couple of weeks, first only when I put pressure on it but now it hurts whenever I bend my arm.

Everything I'm reading says there isn't much you can do outside of ice, rest, and ibuprofen (which hopefully I can take soon...). Anyone that's had it have any tips/tricks/recommendations?

And I know, I know, I should talk to a doctor. Hopefully I'll have time soon!

    I had it in my shoulder a few times as a kid. I played serious tennis. There really isn't much the doctor can do but I would still go see them to make sure that is what it is. I had a prescription version of Icy hot and that was all I did.

    I think there are braces you can get for your elbow so check with a doctor.

    Ouch I have it in my knee and I use runners tape and a strap that acts like a brace. Of course icing when it's swollen can help a bit. I don't know if that helps with your elbow but I feel your pain. Try to limit movement for a few days...feel better !

    Ouch! Tendinitis sucks! Since it's in your elbow, my one suggestion would be to try stretching your pecs a few times a day. You might be swollen at this point, and I assume your breasts har increases (sorry if overly presumptuous). Anyway, that can put tension and strain on your pectoral muscles. Some nerves, particularly the medial nerve , run under your pecs and can contribute to elbow and wrist pain if they're impinged. If it's truly tendinitis, this might not offer too much relief, but there's a chance it could help.

    I had it when I had DD.
    as a result of holding baby, and BFing.

    Get help soon, because once baby is here, it will be harder to fix, and may actually get worse.
