Not quite sure how those would affect the flexor and pronator of the wrist....I suppose done slowly that might help

For elbow issues they've worked for me and one of my kids. Actually right away for me, but my son still has a niggle when doing curling type movements, so they might not be effective for everything.

Not sure how they work, but I've heard that it's a traditional elbow bullet proofing move by gymnasts.

The Voodoo flossing exercise HURTS. I think taking a break is the best thing for me now and just heal up. Thanks everyone for the advice!

Simply "taking a break" isn't the way to go....when "damaged" your tendons will stay inflamed longer.  The body responds by producing more of the collagen type 3 to try and "repair" it.  It is not as strong and also is more prone to re-aggravation.  Rehab exercises do encourage the collagen type one to be laid down.  Also, ineffective contraction patterns in the muscles of those tendons will be corrected.   

Up to you....I'm out.

Get a hard rubber therapy ball. They are cheap. Rub it where it hurts.
