where in your elbow is the pain??

on edit: if you hold your arms out with palm facing upwards, and pain is to the left of your elbow, you probably have a problem with tendons in your elbow

Don't know how severe your pain is, but I used to get up to 4 cortisone shots per year.  I started to use a magnetic elbow strap and I have not had a shot in well over 10 years.  Just bending my elbow would cause severe pain.

Worked for me, might work for you.
