Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are most likely having tennis elbow. Treatment of it is rest to joint and analgesic. If not relieved by this treatment then you may need injection of triamcilone locally at elbow. In rare cases it may require operative release of tendons at insertion.You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
