Hi midlife crisis,
I had elbow tendinitis earlier this spring. I guess its because of my age, but the pain was gone after 5 days. I kept working out through it, just made sure not to use my arms to much in the workouts.
The pain in my elbow began when i was playing tennis (high school tryout), It was then worsened by working out. I went to the doctor and he just told me no physical activity for the next week. That was impossible for me, since i had tryouts two days later. So i kept doing much of my workouts and "physical activity" but just limited the amount of activity by the arms.
I'm really not sure since i didn't need any cortisone, since i didn't need it. But my mother who has had knee problems her entire life had a cortisone shot about a month and a half ago and she loved it. She was able to go to her annual tennis camp down in Florida 5 weeks after having knee surgery. Eventually, you will come to a period where the cortisone will not help you any more and you will begin to feel the pain again.... and it will suck. But from what I heard she loved the shot.
