It's important, especially if you have tears to muscles and tendons, to rest the arm completely. Do not continue activities which over use or place unneeded strain on the elbow for 1-4 weeks. HEAT therapy helps to reduce pain, as does ultrasound and physiotherapy treatments. Applying moist heat for up to 3-hours, twice daily will help to keep your arm at rest and make you more comfortable. See your doctor for more information.
Braces can help to isolate muscles and reduce the amount of range elbow muscles can use.
Surgery for this condition is rare, but can be done. Surgery consists of cutting the main tendon loose and reshaping the rounded bump of your elbow. Other surgical techniques remove granulated tissue or repair tissue altogether. Gently massage muscles from the wrist, moving toward the elbow joint. Needles are used near the source of pain and along the forearm and wrist.
