Then again, look who we are talking about. I don't believe the Enquirer, but I've always thought it odd that Cosby didn't use his fame to promote gun control following his son's murder. Jesus, that's a low blow even for the Enquirer if they're making it up to sell papers.
Treating tennis elbow. Tennis elbow is a self-limiting condition, which means it will eventually get better without treatment. However, it can often last for several weeks or months, because tendons heal slowly. In some cases, tennis elbow can persist for more than a year. A number of simple treatments can help alleviate the pain of tennis elbow. The most important thing you can do is rest your injured arm and stop doing the activity that caused the problem (see below). Holding a cold compress, such as a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel, against your elbow for a few minutes several times a day can help ease the pain.
Damaged tendons can occur on either side of the elbow. When it happens on the outside of the elbow, which is most common, it is called tennis elbow. Tennis elbow is considered an overload injury of the forearm extensor muscles. No one knows exactly what causes the pain of tennis elbow.
