Thank you for sharing your query on Healthcaremagic, I have carefully worked through your case probably you are experiencing a side effect, I advice you to stop the medicine for a few days and make an evaluation yourself, you can apply a topical treatment in your elbow, an steroid cream OTC 3/ times a day works really good, a cold compresses with natural anti- inflammatory such as Aloe vera can help you to relieve the symptoms, watch about your soap, body wash or moisturizer for possible allergic reaction, take care.I hope that my advice has been helpful,regards
