Tendonitis

[Dave Smith]

Brian, I have had tendonitis both on the inside and outside of my arm -- not
from tuning but other causes.  Doctor gave me a special arm band that really
did the trick.  It is a firm band with velcro adjustment for tightness, and
a small air bag which is positioned over the muscle just short of the tendon
attachment.  Clamps off the muscle and lets the tendon heal.  You can still
use the muscle, although with a bit of diminished strength during healing.
Sorry I dont recall the name of the thing, but it really worked for me.
