Since we have a medical topic here...anyone got a few suggestions on how to treat tendonitis? I've got a case of it in the elbow, most likely from working at a computer all day.

Well, as Rich suggested, you could cut your arm off at the elbow. I wonder what he does for headaches? E EM "Only Trajan could go to Dacia."

For headaches I take four Tylenol Sinus. 
 
For my own tendonitis/tennis elbow, I gave up after years and went to a sports doctor who gave me a cortisone injection to break up the scar tissue. That worked for six weeks or so, but he swears he can fix it. Richard Campbell, Legio XX.

I think you are basically pooched with this condition, since it is a reoccuring thing that is caused by repeatitive motion. I even heard that surgery won't completely get rid of it... "Only Trajan could go to Dacia."

It may have. You should start carrying all your clubs in a marching pack and pole... "Only Trajan could go to Dacia."

Or you could try an hour a day at the sword posts, and throwing pila, to give your body different motions to deal with..... "Just before class started, I looked in the big book where all the world's history is written, and it said...." Neil J. Hackett, PhD ancient history, professor OSU, 1987

The "sword post" eh Marcus? So that's what you call it? Sure it ain't your wrist?

Ah. 
 
I've suffered from Tendonitis since I was about 9. 3rd grade I did something very odd with it running with my friends around a tree in the park. I somehow sprained my anckle twice. However, I have it in my Achilles Tendon, not my arm.
