Do you think elbow sleeves are better than elbow brace for elbow tendinitis?
Three things helped me.
Numbers 1 and 3 hurt, but after 2 weeks of both of those every day, and wearing the band for support during workouts I haven't had any problems since (knock on wood).
A brace for my tendonitis. The one I currently have is uncomfortable and doesn't really seem to help anything. Thank you for the contest! :)
Here's a couple ideas that have worked for me in the past:
Hope some of this helps.

My buddy swears by this: http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Band-Sports-ABI00-Therapeutic/dp/B000FML7SW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1413236620&sr=8-2&keywords=golf+elbow+band
I used it for a bit, kinda helped!
Having lots of issues with this as well. I am pretty sure my problem is poor ergonomics at work (bad keyboard/mouse position) as well as softball season. Hoping to alleviate this by getting a trackball and positioning it and keyboard better.
And yes working out with this is a pain. I have issues with pull upos, squats, bench and others when I am having my pain. I just got one of these which seems to help during a workout a bit, but its a bandaid not a problem solver.
I have golfers elbow from hockey injury for a past 1.5 years. I recommend this brace http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000FML7SW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1421000636&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
It will provide great support, but do not wear it all the time it will cause muscle atrophy.
Make sure to do stretching and exercises, use brace when needed.
If you do try to "play through" the pain, it's a good idea to wear a forearm brace to protect the tendon. This is the type I use. I had a pretty severe case of tennis elbow that forced me to bowl left-handed for a year and am mostly recovered now. With the brace on while bowling, I'm confident that I'm not about to hurt it again.
Have you fixed your 10-pin shooting, do you think? When the cause of the tendonitis goes away, the pain will probably go away too -- but sometimes that happens maddeningly slowly.

and clean up your technique
First of all, this is extremely common. Welcome to the club! I first got tendonitis after about 8 years of regular strength training. It's just not a problem that you can resolve through exercise/getting stronger. Like a muscle, you damage your tendons through wear and tear. However, they generally receive less blood flow than muscles and heal slower as a result. This allows them to worsen over time until you develop tendonitis. Recovery is usually easy, but it's a pain in the ass if you love to work out. I sympathize with you there. All you can do is RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). That's probably a good order for importance. Rest is absolutely necessary and the other three will aid and speed the recovery process. In addition, anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen will help.
This compression band has worked well for me. I recommend wearing that band (or any band) when you resume training, at least for a little while.
If the condition does not start to heal, please do take cblupo's advice and see a doctor.
