Talk to your doctor about alternatives. My daughter had tennis elbow when she was a CNA. She cried a lot. She had to soak in a tub and started exercising and working out and that helped a lot. She is now an RN but still has to watch how she does things. When she pulls weeds a lot it aggravates the situation. The doctor did tell her to rest it as much as possible. Hope it gets better. She did the same thing as you and this is a common ailment. It is people like you that make our world better. Get well!!
