Anyone Ever Have Tendinitis?

I've had tendonitis in both arms off and on for 30 yrs (just below the elbow) and the only thing that's ever worked for me is the strap that you wrap around the arm, just below the elbow, and tighten and velcro lock to emobilize the muscle/tendon that's inflamed. I wear the stap 24 hrs. a day and usually takes a month for things to settle down. I tried the cortozone which when it worked was short term and most of the drugs upset my stomach, mind you Aleve helped but be careful taking that stuff for to long as it can be hard on the heart.
I guess 35 yrs. of pulling wrenches has it's side effects.
