| Most people tend to suffer extremely painful tennis elbow so here is a little help. This treatment is fairly odd but it works for most people. So this is how it works you can go to any food market and buy the cheapest rice you can find enough to fill a bucket that covers a little more than half your arm. Stick your arm in the rice and squeeze the rice with your hand try to keep your arm straight due so for as long as you can stand it. You can ice or heat after if needed. You can do it once a day or twice. Until the pain is gone |
