Re: Tennis elbow, tendinitis (me, not the horse)

["Maryanne Stroud Gabbani" <gabbani@starnet.com.eg>]

I sometimes get pain in a shoulder and elbow that has nothing to do with
those parts of my body. I have calcium buildups in my neck and they pinch a
nerve, so when I finally remember what to do, I go get one of those soft
foam rubber neck braces and wear it while I work at the computer and when I
sleep. I find that the pain goes away after a while, but the relief is
almost immediate when I put it on.
