Tennis elbow, tendinitis (me, not the horse)

["B.E. Jackson" <riosanbravo@hotmail.com>]

Help!
I have the worst case of "tennis elbow"—and I don't even play! I guess it's 
from years of hauling heavy buckets or <maybe> from ponying a certain long 
yearling known to suck back at inopportune times...
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions for remedies, I'm all ears. BTW—
have already tried:
-rest (forget it!)
-icing twice a day
-that little pressure band with the air bubble you can get at the medical 
supply store.
-OTC anti-inflammatories (don't really work)
-MSM, Chondroitins, etc.(mmm—not so I can tell)
-arnica gel (probably worked the best of the lot but not for very long)

Have not tried:
-under the counter drugs
-my Smith and Wessen (at least not loaded)
-orthopedic specialist (saving up my money)

Anybody out there found relief for this?
