I have had this problem since I started kiting 8 years ago. I tried everything including accupuncture, meds, and exercises.
The only thing that worked for me were the tennis elbow braces. You can get them at Wlagreens or Walmart for about $5 each. They are basically just 2 inch wide straps with velcro.
I used them every time I kited or was working. After a couple months my elbows were back to 100%. It takes the pressure off of the elbow joint and causes your forearm to build up mass and strength.
Now if I ever feel the pain beginning I immediately start wearing them again and they never get to the point of intense pain.
