Well, I've used Lidoderm patches, Kinesio Tape, LED and infrared lights, Biofreeze, BenGay on my forearms and elbows.

soooooooooooooooooomany things...

My therapist gave me a TheraCane. I have to use it.

Mine looks like that candy cane, but my hands and thumbs hurt to use it, so it took me a long time, years.....................................

I seen one on here where you could use your foot. Boy did I need that model.

My therapist also gave me a Miracle Ball set for Xmas!!!! for my very own. They were gentle balls to use on your forearms.

I also found that keeping my arms warm helped my pain level tremendously. My therapist cut me off arm socks to wear. I wore them for years too. Still have them.

Now that my thumbs are much improved I can use them for the trigger points in my foremarms.

Bilateral problems are no fun. Hard to work on yourself with bilateral hands, thumbs, forearms, elbows... well, you all know what I'm talking about... "BAD ARMS."

I also got a hairdryer on a stand. My elbows used to throb when I tried to blow my hair dry... forget the curling iron for now.

Razors were difficult to use, and when I did I couldn't do it right. I had the laser hair removal for my legs and underarms. I don't regret the money I paid for that.

And yoga was a noticeable difference in the pain in my arms. I couldn't do very good when I first started. Actually took me years to do that.

Stretching is good for you. No stretching will hurt worse forever... or, until I stated stretching.

Advil Liquigels if that will do it for you.

and actually buying a Jeep Cherokee helped with my arm pain. Driving killed my arms. still irritates them.

and other things too.

Praying you find some relief.

It was so many things it sounds ridicilous, but that's the way it was.
