After suffering for about 3 weeks, I went to the doctor's and got a cortisone injection today - not the first I've had but the first in my LEFT arm. I remember about 4 hours after the injection the pain got worse so am not looking forward to the next few hours! I don't even play tennis!!
I do worry about steroids though, especially since I have to take steroids periodically because of my chest complaint. I believe it thins the skin and bone.

Oh Rowan, I've been there, last year, but I must be one of your 'odd' folk, I would never have a Steroid injection, I am that 'odd' i won't have a flu jab, no it's not the injection, it is what is going inside you, fortunately I have no problems, so do not need a flu jab, will carry on taking extra Vit C and Zinc,
well back to your elbow, when I had mine the Doc said it was my roller ball mouse, but he gave me some anti-inflammatories, took them for a while, found loads of excesses on the web and did them, and after about 3 weeks it was OK,
I know every one is not the same, that is just my opinion.
Good Luck

Can we beg to disagree, they cured mine, I say that mine was keyboard and mouse posture.

Widget it wasn't the excercises I was alluding to it was the excesses, just my wierd sense of humour

Just to try to cheer you up Rowan
A GOLFER whose car broke down flagged down a passing bus and got aboard.
He sat down on the bus with his pockets bulging with golf balls next to a little old lady. The little old lady kept looking quizzically at him and his bulging pockets.
Finally, after many such glances from her, he said: "It's golf balls."
She quickly replied: "Does it hurt as bad as tennis elbow...?"

Seriously though
They say 'If the elbow hurts at the front, it is tennis elbow, and if it hurts at the back, it is golf elbow.'
