If you have had this for a period of time >3 - 4 wks) you will require a specific rehab programme to strengthen the tendon and associated muscles in order for the tendon to "heal"
Ice massage
Self trigger point release of "knots" in the forearm
Alter tasks to unload the tendon:
where possible use the palm facing upwards when lifting, gripping etc
use a thicker pen or grip on rackets etc
ensure you take regular breaks if working at a computer
if working with a mouse continuously swap the hand you use the mouse in (this will take some perseverance) or utilize an "upright" mouse rather than a standard mouse.
