Elbow pain : I am sorry that you have persistent pain. Since it is on both elbows one could think that there is a systemic reason for the pain . Lyme disease, gout or inflammatory arthritis. If not why both joints? What type of work did you do? I wish I could address a treatment, but more information is needed to understand the underlying diagnosis . See a doctor in person

Strain: Bilateral elbow pain can mean systemic disease but could also be a strain from repetitive or Improper lifting. You may want to try oral and topical NSAIDS for a few days but if it does not resolve OR if accompanied by a rash, see your family doc for an evaluation. Good luck
