Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to blunt trauma.
For that, you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help.
In case of not getting relief, you may require X-ray elbow after orthopedician consultation
Restrict your movements. Avoid strenuous activity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
