My husband has the worst pain in his elbow tonight, and has been bad since Saturday night . He s taken ibuprofen at 10pm and paracetamol at 11:24. We ve tried cold and heat treatment and his arms in a sling in bed. The painkillers haven t helped much, what can we do? we do have some robaxin - 750 which was for my back pain.

Hello,
It could be due to conditions like tennis elbow.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. In extreme cases steroid injection to the joint might be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
