Having Pain In The Arm And Back Of Elbow Radiating Down The Forearm. How To Get Relief?

Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the arm and back of elbow radiating down the forearm is likely to be related to ulnar nerve compression or inflammation. Most commonly it is caused by a tennis elbow or cubital tunnel syndrome.
You can help the improvement by-
1. Give adequate rest to the arm.
2. Apply cold therapy.
3. Get some anti-inflammatory medication prescribed from your orthopedician.
4. Immobilize the arm for a short period.
5. stretching exercises are helpful under the care of a physiotherapist.
Right now you need to confirm the diagnosis after examination from an orthopedician and get the prescription medicines required.
