Again without seeing it, its hard to dx, but typically a true tennis elbow is just above the joint, if it's mostly below that's more in the muscle and I'd be worried about the start of Radial Tunnel Syndrom. IF you look at the anatomy the tendon for the wrist extendors (the muscles that you are talking about) are litteraly only about 1/4 inch at the most!!!! When someone comes in with the tennis/golfer's dx I can usually push on a spot the size of a jelly bean and the person lights up!! and that spot is just above the joint.
Go get it looked at.

I have it in my elbow and I wear my brace that goes on my forearm. Works like a charm

Yep, same thing here last year, usually rearing it's head bowling. Wore the brace all of last year and am pain free this year.

Ah man, Jamie, that blows.

Hopefully this will all resolve your problems and you'll be back to swinging those clubs in no time!

Hope it brings back your quality of life, Jamie.

Yup, every patient that I've seen after this surgery says the same thing. Any time they drill into bone, especially there where it's right next to the nerve, it increases pain significantly. Just keep icing and get to PT sooner than later and it should calm down.

Jamie, I feel for you, man. Hopefully the surgery did the trick.
