- Rest helps, with avoidance of the activities which over use the elbow.
- Physiotherapy treatments, which may include heat or ultrasound therapy
- Use of anti inflammatory drugs and ordinary pain killers (analgesics).
- A doctor may suggest an injection of a small dose of steroid to the affected area. This is not the sort of steroid banned for athletes. If used it can last for up to three months, and although it may need to be repeated you seldom need more than two or possibly three injections.
- You can buy a brace from a sports shop or pharmaceutical supplier, which can be helpful. This is probably largely because it reduces the amount you can use your elbow.
In other words, there is no 'quick cure'
Quite why people keep coming to Mudcat for medical advice is both beyond me and, a little worrying..
