How can i take care of this ache and popping in my elbows?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NSAID, ice, exercise: Pain and inflammation can be relieved with over-the-counter medications like advil or aleve (naproxen). Follow directions on label. Ice for about 30 minutes will address inflammation and swelling, never apply ice to the skin, always over a towel or clothing. Gentle range of motion, stretching and strengthening exercises.
