Inflammation in the elbow region

I have been struggeling with inflammation in my elbows, elbow joints and triceps for some time now. Been to the doctor, and he did not know anything about it. Im currently going to a physiotherapist. He says that when Im well enough to train again, I should do it with a high number of repetitions and low weight and that it would take some time before I can begin to train normally again.
 
Does any one of you have similar experiences? Suggestions to preventive measures and things I can do to make it better?

This could be a posible diet issue as well.
 
You may have wheat, gluton, or other intolerance. 
Have allergies? 
 
Had this problem.  Took 6 weeks off!
I have intolerances and once they were out of my diet...I have not had a problem since.
 
Get your diet more alkaline as well.
Vegetables and fruits, nuts and seeds.
Rice, quinoa, low-moderate amounts of meats.
 
there are so many things that can contribute to this.
 
Overuse/ overtraining
Problematic form
Older injury with swelling that has not recovered and irritates itself.
 
Try this:

It works for many rheumatoid and arthritic conditions as well as after exertion pain from acid buildup.  Try it.

Buy organic celery seed at a health food store ..get it in bulk, raw seed, about 2 cups worth. 

DO NOT use commercial celery seed as the pesticide/chemical residue which takes residence in the seed's germ  (fat) will worsen the problem!!!

Every day you take 3 tablespoons and use a tea strainer...NOT METAL (metal will alter the properties of the herb) You can use reusable tea bags too...pour 3 cups of boiling water over the seeds and let them sit for 10 minutes in the water.

DO NOT put the seeds in boiling water. Steep them in a glass or ceramic container again NOT METAL.
You can boil the water in metal if you must, but then metal should not contact it once the herb is there, no spoons or anything.

I use an old glass 3 cup pasta jar to hold it once it is "ready".

Now I will tell you that the taste is bitter.  This is a bitter tonic.  The Chinese say that tasting it changes the body chemistry and there have been some tests which bear this out.  So don't try to hide the taste.

You drink 1 cup 3 times a day for 4-6 weeks.  One thing that is a known is that the celery seed can flush deposits of minerals that are responsible for arthritic swelling (the -itis)...it is alkalinizing.

You can also buy celery seed extract in a liquid form at some herb counters, if you know an herbalist, have them make you some.  This is a small bottle of the extract, very condensed, that you can Carry, a dropper full in a glass of water is as effective.

I have recommended this to skiers and other athletes and they swear by it now.
 
Good luck!

In the elbows adn triceps...it appears to hit the tendon there of something...
Yes...if I eat wheat for a few days in a row it swells up again..and is a pain!

I see markdavies, its really a bitch!  . Are you also going to a physiotherapist? I have been given an exercise where Im doing a tricep extension 3x12 very (VERY!) slowly. Im using a crowbar for this exercise. The hole idea is movement in the joint/elbow with low resistance.
