What is a natural remedy for chronic elbow pain?

I am a 16 year old male. I want to know what is a natural remedy for chronic elbow pain?

THE MOST natural remedy is to stop doing the activity which causes or reproduces the pain.
Rest or ice for 20 minutes three times a day are the only natural cures that I am aware of.
We use elbow braces which can be quite effective and I would guess that would be called natural. Stretching can be very effective and soft tissue release carried out by a massage therapist or physical therapist can be effective. Topical lotions can be helpful. Turmeric reduces inflammation in the body can be tried. Also you should avoid activities that may be causing your problem such as working out with weights that are too heavy in the gym or repetitively pitching a baseball with high velocity.
At 16, you should not have chronic elbow pain. I recommend an evaluation.
