Yes,
I use 'Brauer joint and muscle ice gel' or 'Percutane' when Iv'e got a bad case of t/elbow, seems to work.
Also taking Glucosamine and/or fish oil caps are suppose to help.
Just massaging and kneading the painful area can help too.

Known as Cabrinha Elbow around here. It's just a pity that no one has invented a kite with light bar pressure.

I'd recommend ice not heat. It is great that people offer help but you can't beat a professional asessment of your condition.

Go and see a Physio

Less yanking on ya john thomas might help,or give up tennis

Try a kite that according to Tobes has not been invented yet LOL.

OR Rise, GK Sonic, Wainman Rabbits and LF Havocs all have light bar pressure solved my tennis elbow problems.

and if it a 9 that is giving you troubles, sell it to me, I 'll look after if for you

Ozone edge from 2008 is the lightest i've felt for a long time. i came from an 11m sonic onto the 11m edge 2 and it instantly cured the (rather minor) tennis elbow problems i was having.

the only cure is a teaspoon of cement! harden up and kite through it. it will go away in time when you learn to relax a lot more.

I used to also suffer until I switched to best Waroos.

I think we can probably call it kiter's elbow? Considering that most of us probably don't play golf or tennis? Seems to go with the sport, becoming older and physical work.....

The physio I went to told me straight away that my symptoms were 'tennis' though mentioned "chronic degenerative damage from overuse..."- gave the elbows a massage and stretches they felt like new.... for a few hours and the pain came back worse than before.

Now I just continually observe the way I use them and try to minimise the actions that make them worse.

I find that going out underpowered and working the kite, and oversheeting is the worst thing for it, if you have the problem fully focus and observe the feeling in your elbows when kiting and you will learn to keep your arms straighter, make more deliberate and less bar strokes to get going and .....about when enough is enough.....

Wish I had the Benjamin Button Syndrome!

Sarcasm doesn't come across well on a forum does it? Maybe I should have added a

It always amazes me when these threads come up. People suffering chronic pain, taking supplements and drugs, because they fly a kite with high bar pressure, usually one of the pulley bar bows.

There are plenty of light bar pressure options, you can add the Ozones to that list.

Add Vapor's to that list too - they have 3 settings for bar pressure, medium, light and where the h*ll is the kite!!
