Brief Answer:
You can use ice gel or volitran gel
Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
For muscle building you can take proteinx powder with milk. Also you can take carnisure tablet one daily. For kids protein x powder can be given. Taking 1000 mg calcium daily is also helpful. 60000 unit vitamin D should be taken per week for six weeks.
Also for tennis elbow you can use volitran gel or ice gel. Your gel should contain methyl sallisillic acid. This will decrease pain.
Water bucket or any heavy weight lifting can cause tennis elbow. So avoid using your affected hand for heavy work at least for 2 months.
