Crocheting with tennis elbow and carpal tunnel?

So, I have tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome. I recently got diagnosed and I was wondering if there are any tips or recommendations or anything that could help me with trying to be able to continue crocheting with these afflictions. Anything will be helpful thank you so much.

One thing that my doctor recommended was wrapping my wrists for the pain. But I think the real pain is in my elbows, anything will help thank you so much.

Much love,
Lili

I use fingerless compression gloves for my hands and wrists. They help a lot along with frequent breaks for stretches. Compression sleeves could help your elbows.

Good luck

Circulation is big. I put my elbow in hot water, then cold water. Back and forth. It helped my tennis elbow from waitressing.

As a retired therapist, what @HookedByMarilyn said and compression sleeve like mentioned by @Denellwi. TENS (estim machine) is also helpful
