Suggest Treatment For Stiffness And Pain In Elbow Caused Due To Physical Strain

About a month ago I was paddling canoe and it felt like I pulled my left elbow a little. Now a month later it is very stiff and if I extend it too far it pops and a extreme pain shoots. I pretty much still have full movement but I can tell its weak and its not getting better

Hi,

For sprain, use hot fomentation, apply diclofenac gel, apply crepe bandage and take over the counter pain killers.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
