Suggest Remedy For Swelling, Inflammation And Pain In Elbow

I have been experiencing pain in the elbow for about 1 month. No obvious swelling or inflimmation. No injury that I am aware of. I was diagnosed with arthritis at 26 yrs and have calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate, crystal deposition disease in my knees and possibly my shoulder. Could my elbow pain be caused by this or more likely something else?
