Brief Answer:
possible overuse injury
Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and after reviewing your case history I'm of the following opinion:
1. Now a days overuse injuries of forearm whether due to nerve entrapment, tendinoses (tennis elbow), is best managed by following PRICEMM protocol which is as follow:
i. P (protection): consult with an Orthopedic/ Chiropractic/Physiotherapist as how to protect the injured area with suitable equipment
ii. R (rest): doesn't mean that there should be complete cessation of physical activity rather it means that there should be modified activity or relative rest (which does not aggaravate injury)
iii. I (ice): application of ice will help relieve pain/swelling
iv. E (elevation): will prevent pooling of blood around the injury and thus will decrease inflammation/pain/swelling
v. M (medicine): since you have already been told about best painkillers thus some of the natural methods to overcome your issue(s) are:
. Turmeric: is considered to be natural steroid thus can take with water
. Take calcium,magnesium and Vitamin B12 & vitamin C
. cut one lemon into 2 halves, warm it in sauce pan and foment the area twice daily
. mix rock salt in castor oil, rub on affected area. After this put hot water bag or warm cloth on it.
vi. M(modalities): If still pain persist check with a qualified orthopedic surgeon or physiotherapist for further necessary examination & investigation.

1. Injury does not mean something caused physically or due to trauma but this term is also used to denote soft tissue inflammation (due to repetitive Stress) thus
take:
i. Pain free capsule: 1 cspsule twice daily and apply
ii. Roust oil for local application
iii. Capsule restorage: 1 daily
PS. If interested I can courier you the said
medicine on discounted rate
2. In the mean time do not go for heavy breathing (should be light),chest strapping can be considered
