Good day. There are several treatment options for tennis elbow. They can vary from rest, ice, immobilization, anti-inflammatories, wearing an elbow strap, physical therapy, and cortisone injections.
Most of the time can resolve with rest, physical therapy or home exercise program, occasionally would require injection
Topical anti-inflammatory like diclofenac gel, you can pick up at any local CVS, Walgreens, Target, Walmart. Cool compress. Massage. Over the counter ibuprofen, Naprosyn.
