    Todd, I suddenly developed "jewelers elbow" a couple of years ago.
    As I recall, I used one of those wrap things with Velcro on it to
    wrap my forearm (? -- wherever it made the pain less). Then I asked a
    physical therapist for advice, and he suggested holding something
    like a 3-lb. weight (using both hands, a weight in each hand)
    straight out in front of me and gently rotating it (clockwise and
    counter-clockwise) several times. Repeat this 2-3 times a day. Even
    though I wasn't very faithful with the process, the "jewelers elbow"
    went away and has not come back. 

    I can't guarantee any part of the above description, but I hope
    something works for you. 

Peace,
Judy Bjorkman
