Not only do I not play tennis, I'm right-handed and my left elbow was affected. My doctor took a sort of soft velcro cuff thing about 3" wide, fastened it around my forearm and the pain eased immediately. I wore it off and on for several days and rarely have the problem any more. I bought it at her office but she said they sell them in the health department at places like Target, Wal-Mart, etc.
