Elbow Brace and Over the Counter Medication
Wearing a forearm brace [4] can provide support and help reduce pressure on the tendons of the elbow. This will cause less pain in your elbow. You should speak with a doctor or physiotherapist before using braces. There are many types of forearm braces. Your physiotherapist will help you choose the right one and teach you how to use it correctly.
You can take over-the-counter medication to help relieve pain in your elbow. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve) can help reduce inflammation in the elbow.
Make sure to follow usage instructions to avoid side effects such as nausea. You should see a doctor if the pain is not relieved by these medications after a few days. They may prescribe better ones or explore other treatment options, depending on the level of injury.
