I use an old bath towel on wet decking. I kid you not, it works perfectly for me.

You gotta work through it, its a self limiting injury and will go with time. I had it in my second year, worked on and its never come back.

Is this real life????

Find a way to work through the pain and over come it. There are exercises you can do.

Is it worth risking your life because of a sore elbow?

I've had tennis elbow for a reasonable portion of this year. Have had to work through it. Get a strap and use it on your arm. For the most part of the day. Give it time and take ibuprofen at the same time.

Though going back to ladders because of tennis elbow is the most stupid thing I've heard in a long time!

I had tennis elbow on both my arms, went to doctor who sent me for physio.

The physio had it sorted in 5 months, recommended I do press ups every day amongst other things, it's suprising what a difference it makes if I don't do any for a day or two.

I had physio for tennis elbow and it was sorted straight away. It was cheap, too.
I asked how much I owed and the physio replied '15, love'.

Microlight for top

Ladder mate bottom

You only need one devise to work within the law so would use microlight ladder stability devise

Look on internet or FWC website shop   to see them

Funny thing, I got tennis elbow from using a big old sqeegie and applicator combo at arms length, I forget what they were called now. My daughter is a physio and gave me an elasticated elbow support, it worked a treat right from the off. Have you considered training yourself to change leading hands? I Don't mean sack your foreman, just change to southpaw for a while. Most window cleaners are fairly ambidextrous, blading with both hands equally, it would only be aukward for a day or two.
