Subj: [kl] two things on tendinitis

>>Well -- presumably, one way to prevent tennis elbow is not to play =
tennis.
Of course, for professional players (including musicians), this is a silly
suggestion. However, do pro tennis players get tennis elbow? If not,
perhaps they heed the warning signs - whatever they may be. I get pain
sometimes which I always (so far) recover from pretty quickly. I would
start worrying if I *didn't* recover quickly, I think. Isn't this
reasonable??=20

It's not necessarily that simple. My encounter with tendonitis happened =
as a result of picking up a heavy picnic basket, not something I do as a =
sport. :-)

My point was simply that it's an injury that can happen unexpectedly, not =
simply or always the result of repetitive stress.
