Tennis elbow.

For a few months it never got any better. Finally got relief with DMSO, five bucks for a tub of it at Tractor Supply. I have tried it before for arthritis with no results. The DMSO found in health stores and online didn't work very well. The full strength stuff used for horses does work. Before using it, I'd suggest google for more information.

and it didn't work on me but made my breath smell like garlic.

If it works for you, fine, but better stock up on the Tic Tacs.

You might also consult a physical therapist, especially one well versed in sports medicine, for the type of exercises or changes in your swing that can prevent it from getting worse under the masked pain.

Just called the pain that.
DMSO must work, at least on horses too.
