Thanks for the info Gladie! So it is to help with chronic pain... Hopefully I won't have chronic pain once I get over the acute phase of this. I looked up my symptoms in WebMD and it seems I have repetitive motion syndrome. It was too many bicep exercises in water aerobics class. Really bore on my elbows... They say the treatment is lots of Ibuprophen and icing it several times a day. I'm already wearing a compression sleeve, which feels better but doesn't help my elbow to move any better. So I'll try the ice. Already been taking lots of Ibuprophen. It's such a great anti-inflamatory. I'm sure at my age a little arthritis plays into this as well. Rest is the best thing... no exercise.
Oh, the things we do to ourselves! When it interferes with our quilting, it's got to be BAD.
