What is the treatment for elbow pain?

Answer by  bubbyboy (9929)

Usually treatment for elbow pain involves resting the arm in a sling. Pain from tennis elbow sometimes requires joint rest and a cortisone shot in the elbow. Unknown joint pain anywhere that lasts should be evaluated.

That really depends on what's causing it. For the most part a mild to medium pain killer is used for just general pain that doesn't have any other symptoms that are with it.

It really depends on the cause of the pain. Typically elbow pain stems from swelling of the ligaments or tendons in the elbow. Taking an anti-inflammatory (such as Ibuprofen) and icing it will help the swelling go down and relieve the pain. If it persists, you should consult a doctor about it.
