Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having severe pain your elbow. It is most likely is tendinitis or muscular pain. Treatment of it is analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Rest to joints is required to achieve the relief. Vitamin B and C is soothing. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
