Get the shot... cortisone, then rehab.. I found the stretches and various exercises had no benefit prior to getting the shot..
And a few months after the shot, the golfers elbow returned... the tennis elbow arm still feels fine.. so I have an appointment to get another shot of cortisone next week.

I have golfer's elbow as well. for over a year I have been battling it and it is winning! I get little sleep. I have had to curtail my lifting and as a long time competitive cyclist...I have been off the bike for a year! I hate it, hate it, hate it. pain is no joke either. I had the cortisone shot and it helped me immensely for 3 months...then it was back to the normal pain. I am going to go back in and see if another shot followed by sports medicine consultation will help.
I have generally been too busy to try sports med but I will make the time!
