Consulting The Right Doctor For Elbow Pain
 

Can anyone recommend the right type of care and treatment for inner elbow (approx the funny bone area) for tenderness in that part of the arm from extensive playing?

I live in San Francisco.

for something like tennis elbow? id talk to an Orthopedic Surgeon/Physician, but im not a dr, so dont sue me if im wrong.

Umm, go to the ER. That's where my aunt when when she had that...I don't know...thats all I can think of.

may i inquire as to why this is in the jazz and blues forum?????

RICE Rest Ice compression and elevation. When you think it's better get some weights out and just do a few reps..Tell me because I've had it before + an ankle injury so I can help if you need it..:) Get well soon!! xx:)

I was kind of wondering that too.

See a sports therapist they are the best for musicians.
Learning to strengthen the muscles after is also very important.
Consulting a teacher to make sure technique is correct is also important.
