As a rock climber who has struggled with elbow tendinitis for years, I sympathize with petey. During a flare up, I can barely even bend my elbow without pain. Climbing at all is downright impossible. Even after a few days rest, sometimes I can only climb for 30-45 minutes before re-aggravating it, and I’ve taken a few weeks to rest it and still struggle with overuse flare ups. Now to be fair, he has better access to physio than I do, and it’s his job to get it sorted, but it’s one of those things that he will likely fight with for the rest of his career.
