I have always reckoned injections are better from my end of the syringe and needle .  With the tennis elbow ones I know it's going to work if the injectee jumps when I hit the spot

I used to suffer from tennis elbow and found it was mainly related to slippy gloves and gripping too hard on sheets for prolonged periods. (Self diagnosis if any medics are reading).

My solutions are;

a try not to wear gloves - fine for most helming jobs, not for crewing

b if you do wear gloves wear thin, grippy ones like those from Homebase

c helm a 49er and get the crew to do 90% of the sheet trimming

Bliss!

a/b Good gloves help you grip, so you do not have to grip so hard, this helps! (Do not go for the no glove option!)

c. The crew should do 90% of the sheeting anyway but uncleating the jib when under load is not ideal...
