I also have really bad elbows. Ive been taking Glocosamine and Chondroiton for over a year and it doesnt seem to help at all. Went to the doctors and asked about it he said to take as much time off as i could and maybe focus on core/cardio and legs to give the joints some time to heal up. Reluctanlty i stoppped for 2 weeks and after about a week my joints completly stopped hurting so i could only imagine 2 months off.

I also know that some bodybuilders after their big shows take some time off just for this reason elbow tendonitis is gay!

I know it doesnt answer your original question but i thought id tell you what worked for me
