Hello I am 53 years old, male, doing a mechanical/physical work in workshop. From the last 4-weeks, I started getting a pain on my right elbow when ever I lift something heavy or tight bigger nuts & bolts with more pressure. Doctor told me it's'tennis elbow, take rest. But, as I need to do the job everyday, I can not take rest but try to use left hand to put less pressure on the right hand. Please let me know if oil massage will help. If yes, then what oil I should you to massage to cure the'tennis elbow' thank you.
