Suggest Treatment For Persistent Pain In The Elbow

I have had pain on the inside of my elbow for 3 months. I hurt it when I accidentally I shifted my weight in the car and leaned on a cell phone. There was instant pain as if something tore. I do not have limited range of motion. I can lift weights. It just hurts in in simple positions and angles.

You can take cold/heat therapy according to your tolerance or convience.take warm wet cloth and wrap it over your elbow joint and pour the warm water over it for 20 times.but dont exceed the time more than 20 mins to avoid skin burn.than apply any diclofenac gel to reduce the pain or inflammation.you can wear elbow support or brace. you can take ibuprofen or naproxen for the severe pain.you can take massage therapy and physiotherapy.keep rest your arm.if there is strain or sprain of muscles or ligament not fully healed the pain will not disappear until.
