The only relief I've been able to find since is a cortisone injection in each elbow every 9 months or so. Unfortunately the injections are only a masking agent and real damage is possibly occurring as I've gone over the 400 mark on the bench...I'll take the injections as long as I can, then it's the knife, which I assume is really going to put a damper on my lifting...but you only live once, so what the hell.
Besides, my ortho doc says I'm far from need of surgery, so I hope I have a solid 10 years of lifting left in me before the tendons may require some surgery.
Good luck,
