Have you tried Accupunture? I had a bad case of tennis elbow and it took me almost 8 months get rid of it, and It was rather painfull to do both kendo and specially iaido.. But I had accupunture done on it and it worked really well.. I think personally surgery wil be my last resort. I hope you get better soon. Mine still twinge a bit but it's not giving me much grieve these days. Good luck
