You use the bands for tennis elbow? They’re awesome. (Coupled with 2 Tylenol and 4 ibuprofen)

Ya, I got the band for my left arm. It helps.

I'm also trying to wear wrist support / stiffeners since I learned that the "elbow" stuff isn't really from the elbow, but due to using the wrist too much / wrong.

I had SUPER bad tennis elbow in my right arm 3 years ago (from using a hammer to break up concrete... totally killed my arm 2 days later), and it lasted for over a year!!! It was so bad I couldn't even play badminton with my daughters. Insane!

You are confusing me.
What the heck are you talking about?

Must not be this one!

LOL! Unlikely. Not really anything "informative" worth sharing enough to be in a full article.

Surprisingly, I don't think I have any issues (yet) from like 15 hours a day on the computer.

... definitely due to the rental and cleanup of big / heavy stuff around the house. Lifting too much, etc.

Also, just not being super careful... like when I used a sawszall with one hand and the weight + vibrations killed my wrist.

FWIW I'd like to share some "learned the hard way" wisdom. When I started building the coop last spring I was ~8-9 months after knee surgery. I joked with my Better-half about how this project was going to be my "gym" for the next few months. Similar to how I realized that the unicyling was helping with my scoliosis after I got outta the Navy. Using any activity as a conscious form of exercise. Whether it's stacking cord wood, loading recycling in the truck, shaving one of our 70-110lb dogs....

When covid-19-mare kicked in hardcore it totally stalled my actively using all that stuff as my "exercise" for several months.

I am soooo, feeling the loss of momentum at this point. I'm about 1 1/2 months of easing back into this mental POV of using "everything I do as my *gym". Working on multiple houses, vehicles, & maintaining all the lifeforms and trying to hold fast to my sanity..... Yeah. I dropped the ball for likely 2+ months looking back on it.

I hope that stayed focused enough.... I re-read it now and *to my mind's eyes* it looks cohierant.
