Answers:
Ask your Doctor to percribe some Lidoderm 5% patches for you, keep the patch on over night or for up to twelve hours.Health Question & Answer

What you've got is called Tennis Elbow. You can try taking Ibuprofen to help reduce the inflammation, you can try massage, but really the only thing that will heal your elbow is not using it. With proper rest, most cases will heal in 6-12 weeks.

If you absolutely must use your elbow for your job or whatever you can get a cortisone shotHealth Question & Answer

Yeah. Consulting your doctor is the best option. An orthopedic physician/surgeon is the best specialist to consult with. Have you been diagnosed of tendinitis in that elbow before.? It could also be arthritis. If so, a different kind of treatment may be necessary.Health Question & Answer
