Tennis elbow (Ice or hot during treatment?)?

I am suffering with tennis elbow and doing physio. at the first week and taking Ibuprofen (anti inflammation). Throughout this rehabilation process, should I continue Ice treatment or should I do hot treatment?). How many time per day?

back to zero. No body knows the answer?

Ice will help reduce the swelling, as long as you can take it and time allows.

I think apply ice. Im not sure so dont if you dont wanna.

Both, once a day you grap a pack of ice, keep it on the elbow for 10 minutes, replace it with a warm water bag for 10 minutes, repeat for about an hour, keep at it for a week and you won't believe the results.

I would alternate it 3-4 X a day. When you apply ice, it reduces the inflammation; heat, increases the circulation. Be sure to wear a brace below your elbow to help support it. Sleep with the elbow and lower arm on a pillow. I know this is painful, but time will help it heal. Continue with the ibuprophen (anti-inflammatory) and you can supplement with tylenol for pain.

Alternating----put a heating pad on it for 20 minutes then alternate with ice for 20 minutes daily.
