I have had this problem off and on, It will go away if you limit your shooting to what is comfortable.

Paul Bruner wrote an article about this problem when he had a severe case of it years ago and had to stop shooting because of it. According to him, the inflamed tendon that causes tennis elbow is an unused one we have left over from when we walked on all fours. He had his clipped and never had a problem with tennis elbow again.

I don't know if there is any truth to this, my memory for the facts could be clouded by the 25 years of distance since I read this article.

I remember walking on all fours... running up stairs like that was the best!

Clipping a tendon, id never have considered that. But if it works and doesnt have any bad effects,  and it keeps up the pain and nothing here works.... maybe consider it.

The old timers I grew up around would use DMSO, "horse medicine".
Now I swear by it for my elbows and other joints. Ed

If you need pain relieving medication, I suggest avoiding pharmaceutical opiates. They can get on top of you before you know it. There is a natural herb that is not well known(and legal for the time being) that works just as well with less side effects, physical dependency, and withdrawal symptoms. It's call Kratom and is the leaf of an Indonesian tree. It is readily available online. Do some research on it first, like anything else it may not be the best option for everyone.

Tiger balm is amazing stuff for localized muscle/ tendon pain and smalls better than ben gay or icy hot.
