Suggest Remedy For Pain In The Elbow From An Injury

I injured my right elbow several weeks ago loading firewood in a wheel barrel. It was almost healed and I re-injured it doing the same thing. I picked up a piece of wood to toss and pain shot through my elbow worse than before. Its been since January 10th. I am 64 years old and I bowl once a week. Needless to say I have not been able to do much of anything.
