Tendonitis help

I was 90% pain free after about six weeks of PT. It would only hurt if I pressed on it. That was about 18 years ago. Any sort of repetitive motion will start the inflammation again. Dominant arm, medial, just above the epicondyle. The brace brings instant relief keeps it from getting worse. This is nothing to stop me from doing anything. Now the repetitive dislocating shoulder that I'm getting operated on next week stops me from doing a lot of things. Injuries start to add up as you get older.
