I used to wear one of those elasticated elbow supports, the pain just went after an hour or so.
That was when I was trad, using a backflip. Dai

I suffered once from tennis elbow, got quarterzone injection, painfull for afew days got better but flared up again , got a specific tennis elbow support from hospital, tried laying off the high work a few weeks, then doctor prescribed a natural chilli peppper based cream to apply to the elbow, numbs the nerves that cause the pain, this I think in conjuction with the support and some rest cured it. Not had a repeat of it since though I take more care now not to do heavy work at hight for prolonged periods, and i try to use my right and left arms equally ( hope I dont end up with it in both ;D)

my advice is go and get ultrasound treatment, it took 6 weeks to heal my shoulder, that was nearly 3 years ago, never had it back since, if you leave it it gets worse, becouse you work every day the torn muscles dont get the chance to heal, best thing i ever done,
