Well, if it is anything like tennis elbow, you probably need to back off for a few weeks and start with lesser weight. You probably went too heavy, too quick. It has happened to me before. You end up causing inflammation that presses up against nerve ending and becomes painful. Heat it for 20 minutes, break for 20 minutes, ice it for 20 minutes, rest for 20 and repeat. Advil or Aleve will help, but it will take time. If it is real bad, go see a doc and get a cortisol shot. Cortisol is catabolic on the muscles. Also, you will have to rehab the elbow after cortisol wears off. Guess it depends on how bad it is. Vitamin E and Omega 3 can help, along with l-glutamine and l-arginine.
