I'm not even 40 and my elbows are totally ruined from using a mouse and keyboard, game controller and phone too much... My gaming days are nearly over and it SUCKS
Have you considered going to a PT?
Have done, best they could do was tell me to stop doing the things that trigger it... Great!
Standing desk, more ergonomics, and ibuprofen.
Also, here's a good stretch:
With your arms straight, grab your hands together behind your back. With your fingers laced, lift them directly up, while looking up. That's it. It really helps with standing straight.
Tried tried and tried... Some things there are no going back from and injuries of this type can be one of them. Of the hand full of specialists I've seen about it, all of them said the same.
Yeah, that's how it goes sometimes. I can't cycle anymore for similar reasons. One cool thing is, you can still do it, just not habitually. Best of luck with your pain.
