Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The constant pain in the area seems to be due a persistent inflammation in the area. Adequate rest and oral anti inflammatory drugs are needed for prolonged relief. Doing a hot fomentation and an elbow elastic brace will be helpful.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
