osodecanelaLateral elicondylitis, aka tennis elbow, I haz it. Don't like it one bit.
Right side only, amen & I am at least allegedly, a southpaw. It started flaring yesterday. I've been been gardening, cleaning up our long neglected yard. I've taken out a bunch of holly, majorly pruned an ancient wisteria, started pruning the grapes, removed a handful of unidentified ugly bushes, planted a few fruit trees & today took on what I think is an apple, in severe need of pruning. We've had several neighbors comment how much better our new place is looking, generally followed by mildly disparaging words about the last owner.
I've put in 3 different peach trees, granted a few weeks back, that are supposed to bear at different times - mid-July, late August & October. Yesterday I put in a grafted cherry, boasting 4 different types; Bings, Lapins, Raniers (which I adore) & Black Tartarians. Bings require a pollinator by another cherry. The Tartarian will take care of that need.
Anyway I've started using topical diclofenac on the elbow and with luck, it'll calm down in a few days.
At least, I'm hoping.
