    Presumably you don't actually have "tennis elbow" - that is, from
    playing tennis. Some sort of tendonitis, or something. The biggest
    culprit is usually the flex shaft. If you raise your arm at the
    shoulder, rest your elbow on the benchtop, and your bench is a
    standard jeweler's bench, you will pinch the nerve under your
    shoulder. Do it enough and your arm goes dead on you, and pain in the
    elbow. This is practical experience, I ain't no doctor. That's why
    benches have pull out arm rests. Just those couple of inches less
    height don't pinch that nerve. In my experience, heat can be
    soothing, but the only real cure is rest, and most importantly, stop
    doing whatever it was that caused it....
