I have the same thing same arm, dunno about deca or any other drugs that would help but in
my own experience.. Be aware of your wrist alignment(keep em straight) and unfortunately, try not to go too heavy.

I've been in therapy for the last 4 months for lateral epicondalitis in both elbows. (Tennis elbow) Stretching, rasting, ice, tens unit, laser and exercise have been an every other day regime. You have a repetitive use injury and the only way to help it is to keep the inflammation down with ice after your workout. The tendons need to heal and since there is very little blood flow to the tendons, it takes a long time. Deep massage and myofascial release helps to get the blood flowing. Rasting helps break apart the scar tissue and realign the tendons the way they're supposed to line up. If you can get a flex bar and strengthen the forearm muscles including the supinator this will definitely help. STAY AWAY FROM CORTISONE SHOTS!!! They will break down the tendon even more and you'll go from tendinitis to tendinosis, cellular death of the tendon.
Ice and exercise is your best friend. I could hardly pick up a coffee cup or lift a gallon of milk without extreme pain but after a few months of therapy I'm back to about 75% (because I keep lifting anyways or I'd be at 90%] See a sports therapist bro, you'll be glad you did.
Hope you feel better soon!
