It was mostly ultrasound treatment and wearing a brace on my forearm.
It is an interesting affliction. I got mine when I was getting on a
chair lift at a ski resort. It was our last run of the night on the last
day of our vacation and last ski trip of the year. At the time it
happened I thought.... Ow. That is going to leave a bruise. It didn't,
but about a week later I was reaching for a dinner plate and my forearm
was so sore I could hardly pick up the plate. Within a few days I was
having trouble writing. I did the therapy for about 6 weeks and was
told that was about all they could do for me and it would take time, but
it was so much better. The only problem was that I had developed a habit
of cranking my forearm, which would make the tendon slip back into
place. I could hear it and feel it. As time went on I did that less and
less often and eventually it was completely healed.
