Treatment for tendonitis/tendinopathy

[jmac2112]

I've been struggling with elbow pain (mostly on the outside) ever since I got back into shooting about three years ago.  I've tried the exercises promoted by Chad Reilly, which helped quite a bit, and I've done a lot of stretching and self-massage, but lately the pain is keeping me from training more than once or twice a week (dry fire, live fire, whatever).  

 

There's a relatively new treatment available called Tenex that uses ultrasound to remove scar tissue (not to be confused with the blood pressure medication of the same name).  If you google "tenex tendinopathy" or "tenex tendonitis" you'll come up with info on it.   It's not technically surgery, although it does involve sticking some sort of needle/probe into your body.  Just wondering if anyone here has tried it, and if so, how it worked out for you.  I don't think I've ever going to get out of B class until I get this under control so I can train more.

 

Thanks,
