currently, i'm icing, taping (glide method), and limiting training to core exercises and cardio.
any suggestions would be helpful. thanks.

Dealing with it right now myself. In my case, this is secondary to a climbing injury. The elbow wasn't injured, but I aggravated it when I was guarding against the pain in the supinator muscle and pinched radial nerve. I was told by PT that the lateral epicondylitis problem is not from climbing, but from computer use. The climbing commonly using MEDIAL epicondytis, not lateral.
Seems to be true, because it doesn't hurt when I am climbing, but it does sometimes hurt when I am pulling rope, It does hurt when I am using laptop for extended periods of time, and also with various random things, such as lifting a heavy pan by the handle (lever effect, i think)
The elbow seems to be doing much better since I have switched to ergonomic chair with adjustable armrests, and started using a normal ) not-laptop) keyboard with a gel wrist pad in front of it.
