Topical Cream
In addition to oral medications, there are many topical cream products to help you alleviate elbow pain. You can purchase them at many pharmacies or local drugstores. Simply apply the cream directly to the affected area to get immediate relief. The cream contains many ingredients that can reduce swelling and pain. It is important to follow the instructions and use the right amount. Overusing would lead to some side effects. Avoid NSAID cream if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers because it would be absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin. Stop applying if you experience rash, redness, or irritation. [9]
