frenchee, you can also put 2 or 3 of those shock absorbers in your strings.The Gamma Shockbuster is a good 1.The new rackets vibrate alot and that definitely can cause tendonitis.I use 2 when I play and if I tried using just 1 then right away I would feel the shock. good luck

Frenchee, Dale - thanks for those tips on how to fight tendonitis .... it's alarming how the body's healing capacity diminishes as one gets older.

I heard that a cortisone injection can be very effective and sometimes can even cure the problem permanently. On the other hand, I'm concerned that it would just mask the problem temporarily resulting in greater injury because one doesn't feel the pain until the drug wears out many weeks later.
