George... I remember you also writing about "tennis elbow."  I have
developed a bit of tennis elbow also... first noticed when carrying a heavy
suitcase (98 lbs).  I get a bit of a "bite" from the elbow occasionally and
it being a "sharp" pain, I am worried about aggrevating it to the point
where it interferes with my ability to paddle.

If you care to share your experiences with this dilemma, I would sure like
to hear what you have to say about it.  ...

It may have been the suitcase, or the paddling style...  From what I
remember about your comments, "tennis elbow" or Paddle elbow doesn't seem
to quickly heal itself.

Thanks

Robert
